Excerpt from the booklet

(...) For more than a decade Joachim Gies has set himself the task of expanding the saxophone´s sound world. His work combines knowledge of the contemporary repertoire for the saxophone with experience in experimental and avant-garde improvisation. In his microscopic approach to sounds Gies pursues the intricate paths of the overtone series and opens the door to a microcosm of timbres and intervals. (...)
The chambermusic-like quiet and calm music of ´Whispering Blue´ is best appreciated when listened to carefully and intensively - an ability often lost and obscured by the overwhelming banality and volume of the ambient noise we have sadly become used to.
