Commissioned by Roland in 2018, “Serendip” premiered at the XVIII World Saxophone Congress in Zagreb. Composer Nigel Wood uses the Aerophone AE-10 and Aerophone GO with the Equinox Saxophone Ensemble to demonstrate the melodic and expressive qualities of Roland's innovative digital wind instruments, along with the new creative possibilities introduced by combining them with traditional acoustic instruments.
The performance features 11 musicians, including 9 acoustic saxophone players and 2 Aerophone players. Alistair Parnell performs with the Aerophone AE-10, while Dan Gribbin performs with Aerophone GO. Both players are using onboard sounds only.
