Michael Foster

Michael Foster is a saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist based in New York, working in free improvisation and noise. He prepares and amplifies his saxophone with objects, balloons, drum heads, tapes and samples, an approach he describes as a way to subvert and queer the instrument's history and conventional roles. Michael Foster plays in duo with percussionist Ben Bennett (Contractions, Negative Externality, Lives), and the two recorded Carne Vale with trumpeter Jacob Wick at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn.
