Àlbum is the only record by the musician under his own name, featuring a collection of music he made mainly in collaboration, forming an exciting journey through his vast activity and background: member of Koniec –kindred with Macromassa and Gringos, all of them bands known for their unpredictability–, composer of incidental music, especially intended for dance, with dancers and choreographers such as Àngels Margarit, Andrés Corchero and Lanònima Imperial, improviser with many musicians, such as Rhodri Davies, Agustí Fernández, Graham Haynes, Peter Kowald, Xavier Maristany, Butch Morris, Nuno Rebelo, Evan Parker, and John Zorn (Cobra), co-founder of innovative experiences as La Orquestra del Caos or the first collective IBA (Improvisadors de Barcelona), in bands such as Blay Tritono, part of the 70s Ona Laietana (the Catalan vernacular response to jazzy prog rock) and student of composers Gabriel Brnčić and Joan Albert Amargós.

A pioneer of the sampler in experimental music, he recontextualized the instrument outside the field for which it was conceived. The sampler profoundly affected both his music and his working processes. Saura squeezed the instrument and technique to the last drop. The use of pre-recorded sounds (sampling) blurred, by definition, the boundaries between improvisation and composition, intersecting and overlapping them. Joan Saura was a very influential figure in his generation, but his premature disappearance has prevented his music from receiving wider recognition as it deserves. It’s time to reverse the situation, his approach, "freedom is not only a right, but also an obligation" is more necessary than ever. Let’s all be infused with the spirit and music of Joan Saura!
