In his solo Karlis explores the acoustic sound possibilities of saxophone, using them in both compositional and improvisational context. In the solo performances he strives to create a world which exists out of time and space. 

This duo with a great classical pianist Rihards Plešanovs performs "Still Nature" -

a musical piece for saxophone and prepared piano composed by Kārlis Auziņš.

Still Nature is a meditation, a fluctuation between conscious and subconscious, it is an observation of one's inner and outer worlds and impulses from them translated into sonorities of prepared piano and extended techniques of saxophone.
This composition is a continuation of my practical and compositional research within the sonic possibilities of saxophone, that was documented in my solo album "Oneness and The Transcendent Truth". In this case I also added (prepared) piano to create a different world of sounds coming from these two instruments and hopefully, through the unconventional paths, take the listener on a journey.

Improvisational music or instant composition collective formed by four like-minded musicians. Their music is a journey into unknown tearing down barriers between jazz, the avant-garde, world music, rock and pop. This music isn't about genres. It's all about unity, equality, trust and communication.
