Jonas Engel – Saxophone and electronics

At the core of Jonas' musical research is an insatiable curiosity about sound and its manipulation. His solo performances are a testament to an innovative approach to brass instruments, as he ingeniously uses extended techniques, instrument modifications and electronic effects to transform them into channels of profound sonic expression. The result is an intricate mosaic of multi-layered textures, harmonics, microtones and the very essence of air, all harmoniously woven together to form a tapestry of resonant emotions.

Awards and scholarships from prestigious institutions such as the DAAD, the Idella Foundation and the Dörken Stiftung, together with recognitions such as the German Youth Jazz Award, the European Tramplin Jazz Award and the Maastricht Jazz Award, testify to his intriguing approach to music and his contribution to musical perspectives.
