Solo saxophone
The genre of solo saxophone has a rich, but largely unmapped history in contemporary music, particularly jazz.[1] Many, but not all, musicians who play and record solo saxophone use extended techniques, a vocabulary of the saxophone beyond its normal range. Notable musicians in this field include Kaoru Abe, Anthony Braxton, Peter Brötzmann, John Butcher, Don Dietrich, Eric Dolphy, Brandon Evans, Paul Flaherty, Mats Gustafsson, Coleman Hawkins, Lee Konitz, Steve Lacy, Roscoe Mitchell, Evan Parker, Sonny Rollins, Sam Newsome, Ned Rothenberg, Masayoshi Urabe, Ken Vandermark, Colin Stetson, Jonah Parzen-Johnson and Andre Vida, Gianni Gebbia.

gollark: I have another problem. I need to offload the generation of the image things to another thread, since it's quite slow. It seems that just passing a tableref to `createThread` and having it update that doesn't work, since the table is presumably copied at some point. I looked at channels, but they don't look like they work well with async. What's the best way to do this?
gollark: * the seq
gollark: * isn't necessarily free of nulls, or null-terminated
gollark: I was worried because of the fact that they're apparently null-terminated, and my string isn't necessarily.
gollark: I see.
