Joshua Hyde is a saxophonist, improviser, and composer. One of the leading saxophonists of his generation, Joshua approaches music-making fearlessly, interpreting music from the renaissance through to the most extreme and experimental new music of today. Internationally recognised as a performer of new notated music, he is a member of the new music ensembles Elision (Melbourne), scapegoat (Montreal), & soundinitiative (Paris). Joshua is guest saxophonist with Musikfabrik (Cologne) since 2011, and is regularly invited to perform with ensembles Contrechamps (Geneva), Intercontemporain (Paris), Klangforum Wien (Vienna), & Nadar (Antwerp). Equally at home as an improviser, he creates music that borders with jazz, ambient, and experimental electronica with his electric trio Replicant (with Primož Sukič, e-guitar and Benjamin Soistier, machines), acoustic trio Vitrio (with Jaouen Rudolf, drums, and Massimo Pinca, bass), and as a duo with long-time collaborator Ben Carey (synthesizers).
