Paul Lovens,
Rhodri Davies,
Michel Doneda,
Joëlle Léandre,
Thomas Lehn, John Tilbury,
Otomo Yoshihide... and works with the ensembles Hubbub and Ethos.

Evan Parker, Cecil Taylor, Otomo Yoshihide, Shelley Hirsch,
Joëlle Léandre; Keith Rowe;
Wolfgang Fuchs and many others.
Bertrand Gauguet, whether he exposes finite details or violent sounds, makes his instrument sound more like guitar feedback and industrial machinery than a saxophone. He has collaborated with Pascal Battus, Fabrice Charles, Michel Doneda, Barre Phillips, Le Quan Ninh and Dan Warburton.
John Butcher leads an almost scientific survey of the sonic possibilities of the saxophone while performing improvisation or compositions. He has performed with Toshimaru Nakamura, Derek Bailey, Lol Coxhill, Steve Beresford…
