The musical workings of Calum Builder involve an eclectic blending of genres that resonate with the theme of ‘post-religious spirituality’. From captivating solo performances that feature improvised saxophone and pipe organ, to leading one of his diverse orchestras, Builder's music “brings about a symbiosis of overflowing beauty and rumbling disturbances” (T.S Høeg, Jazz Special). An award-winning saxophonist and composer lauded for his “unique and exciting voice” (Nettavisen) Builder has performed at international jazz, classical and experimental music festivals across Northern Europe & Australia. Builder’s 2021 critically acclaimed album Messe (You are where you need to be) garnered a coveted 6/6 hearts in Politiken Newspaper describing it as “a beautiful and overwhelming experience" (David Dyrholm, Politiken) and was subsequently nominated for a Danish Music Award. Other featured projects include: Although Changed, I Arise the Same — a piece for Calum’s self-built pipe organ, saxophone, voices and sound design; Renewal Manifestation (Organ, Saxophone and Strings) — with members from Crush String Collective and Organist Peter Navarro-Alonso/Svend Hvidtfelt-Nielsen; ‘Murmuration’ — a large ensemble comprised of strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion; Locusts & Honey — a duo with Canadian Pianist Matt Choboter. www.calumbuilder.com
