Dorone Paris is a composer and saxophone player specializing in New Music and Avant Garde performance. Being raised in Israel influenced her political ideas and affected her musical creativity, aesthetics and philosophy. Dorone’s work has been performed throughout West and Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. She now lives and works in Ireland. In the words of the composer, COAL explores the vast colors and possibilities of saxophones by examining and channeling the compounded challenges of the last several years: from a climate crisis to a global pandemic to the possibility of an international nuclear war. As such, some of the soundworlds in this album are harsh and unforgiving, a call for light. Her collaboration with Saxophonist Noam Dorembus has been shaped by the words of their mentor Arie Shapira: “It is necessary to invent new parameters of listening. I want to be a partner to an adventure, not a historical experience; that I’m hearing a new sound.” Noam Dorembus is keen about diving into diverse musical styles and finding new ways of expression. His approach to music making is joyful and welcoming the unknown. He graduated from The Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance and is currently teaching Saxophone at it’s Conservatory. As a soloist and as an orchestral player Noam plays a wide repertoire spanning from baroque to contemporary music and all the way to classical Arabic music. On this album he plays tenor sax solo (with electronics) on one track and is joined by three other players from Israel in the others.
