Syrinx Effect

October 30th, 2014

The 2014 Earshot Jazz Festival presented Syrinx Effect, the magical duo of Kate Olson (saxophone) and Naomi Siegel (trombone), two bright lights in the scene of Seattle women in jazz opening the bill on Friday night at Royal Room. The performers play contemporary, improvised chamber music, using technology. Siegel incorporates guitar pedals with her brass instrument and Olson plays soprano saxophone with laptop and other aural toys. The duo got their start curating the Racer Sessions in Seattle, and have gone on to perform and collaborate often in the Seattle jazz and improvised music scene, making music that is authentic and expressive, employing everything from simple folk melodies to abstract, ambient noise.
