Wave Nature - Daniel Rotem

Saxophonist and composer, Daniel Rotem, designed his approach to Wave Nature like the sun diagrams he grew up studying. Almost rhizomatic in nature, one idea spurring another and each subsequent link existing in service to the root and a world of its own, the structure of Wave Nature is both tethered and free-floating.

“I view music as these different lines, and from listening you can come up with universes of thoughts, all these connections and associations. From one idea stem all these different things.”

Wave Nature is, at its core, an album of ideas sewn together, each note signaling and gesturing to something grander. “Seeing something grow in front of you is breathtaking,” Rotem explains. “There is nothing like a small sound and seeing–hearing–it become part of something bigger.”
