ToTarTu is on a collaborative project to record the street musicians he finds in the city of Berlin.
One late evening ToTarTu heard some melodies being played by a saxophone and jumped on his bike to find out exactly where the sound was emanating from.
He was lucky to find the Saxophonist, Roman Liva, as he had already stopped playing about three minutes before ToTarTu arrived; he was making his way up Bürknerstrasse in Neukölln to another venue.
This collaborative project by ToTarTu is short and simple, with instruments added around the saxophone.
After introducing ToTarTu and the project Roman unleashed this little toe tapping number and the recording was made.
ToTarTu imagined that the Saxophone piece could be like a short simple concert performed by a couple of musicians and that being the case, and keeping the Saxophone central, accompanied only with percussion like instruments and drums.
Roman was happy and upbeat so the electronic sound and percussion was added being mindful of the saxophone phrasing and used to enhance the mystery song and give it a little drama and swing.
Unfortunately, Roman does not have a website nor contact details. However, he will certainly be playing out the front of some bar or restaurant somewhere in Berlin when the weather is warm!
