Fabrizio Cassol (born 8 June 1964) is a Belgian saxophonist and the first user of the aulochrome (a double-reed instrument). [1]
He was born in Ougrée, Belgium. [1] Between 1982 and 1985, he studied at the Liège conservatory and "obtained first prize for saxophone while majoring in chamber music". [1] He also studied improvisation and composition. [1] Cassol began to tour with his first band ( Trio Bravo, with Michel Massot and Michel Debrulle). [1] He travelled to the Central African forest to encounter the Aka pygmies, which led to the formation of the band Aka Moon. [1] Besides, he has performed with many other musicians. [1]
He has composed music for dance theatre and in 1995 he composed with Kris Defoort the album Variations on A Love Supreme. [1] He won the Belgian Golden Django in 1998. [1] Since September 2002, he has used the aulochrome, a new instrument created by François Louis. [1] He has taught at the Etterbeek music academy since 1989. [1] Cassol collaborated with choreographer Alain Platel to create "Requiem pour L", in which musicians and dancers "perform a new version of Mozart’s Requiem while slow-motion footage of a woman dying is projected on a screen behind them".
