On January 12, 2024, Josh Sinton releases the next iteration of his evolutionary process on the baritone saxophone. A unified whole presented in two parts, Couloir & Book of Practitioners Vol. 2 is a double album that further articulates his philosophy that the only difference between musical interpretation and free-form improvisation is one of modality, not perception or artistic intent.

“…[the music] sounds like an avant-garde version of early Miles Davis, with slow, spaced-out notes, here played by Sinton over the bitonal underlay of an electric guitar and bass, neither of which are trying to break the sound barrier. It’s music that draws you inward….if you just let yourself go and let it wash over you, it creates a spell that is hard to break..” – Lynn Bayley, Art Music Lounge
“The balance between the more serious and more playful moments is well paced here. A serious listen will unleash several underlying layers of subdued connections. Take your time with this.” – Bruce Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery
“I hear the freedom of making a chamber sound-object, something that breathes well in a small, closed space. More than a sculpture, I’m thinking of those early twentieth-century paintings that incorporate three- dimensional collages. Images that look naïve exactly because of their freedom, but they occupy their space so perfectly.”
– Giacomo Merega describing cérémonie/musique
