The German Stephan KÖHR is ESKALATION. This musician has the particularity that he was, at the end of the Seventies, one of the pioneers of a specific technology about electronically controlling an synthesizer with a wind instrument, a little in the style of what a MIDI controller can do for guitars… This guy is actually a bassoon specialist. As its name indicates, "Different Music For Bassoon, Wind Synthesizers And Sampled Percussion" (2001) gives a good idea of what that man can do with such subtleties.
