Ulrich Krieger's Quantum is a quiet exploration of soft sounds which require amplification to be audible. Adapting these amplified microsounds, Krieger creates a previously unheard soundworld of the saxophone.

A  world of quantum sounds., where sounds are always statistical, and never the same.

The probability of sound. The quantum world, the realm of the super-small equals the world of microsounds. In quantum mechanics there is no certainty, the Heisenberg ‘Uncertainty Principle’ rules. Reality is stochastic, at least at the smallest level.Quantum-sounds are similar in the sound world. Sounds that can not be controlled and fixed traditionally, only approached stochastically.

These sounds can be stochastically researched, experience and understood, they can be manipulated and steered in the right direction, but never totally, completely controlled. A quantum sound world of controllable macro-features, but stochastical micro-features.

It is purely ‘interactive’ between the performer and the sounds. Besides the obvious--saxophone type and make, mouthpiece type, ligature--here are too many other factors: textur of reed, strength of reed, duration of use of reed, weather, humidity, etc. for everything to be controllable in a traditional way
