Biography
Saxophonist Brian Sacawa and percussionist Timothy Feeney formed the duo Non-Zero to explore and expand the sonic possibilities of their instruments, and to perform music that treads the boundary between composition and improvisation. They develop their distinctive repertoire by commissioning and collaborating closely with both established and emerging young composers. Non-Zero works freely in acoustic and electronic sound worlds by using amplification, an array of pitched and unpitched traditional and homemade percussion, and pre-recorded or interactive electronic media. The result is music overflowing with intensity, from icy stillness to explosive energy.
