The spectrum of influence, clarity of intention, and confidence in craft present in Johnsonโ€™s approach yields stunning results on ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ. Whether itโ€™s spiritual and wandering works augmented by the idiosyncratic overloads of hardware technology, stumbling funk that pulsates with the glow of otherworldly deep sea life, surrealist dancefloor cuts, or cloudy collages of shoegaze saxophone, Animative coheres into a strange and beautiful whole โ€” a generous and spellbinding reflection of its auteurist creator.

But he doesnโ€™t want listeners to feel obliged to decipher his music. Though itโ€™s heady and scans experimental jazz, he wants it to register physically.โ€ โ€œJohnsonโ€™s technical command never seems to advertise itself. In an era when musicians are often encouraged to distill their identities into concise, marketable descriptions, Johnson has found opportunity in the opposite impulse: letting his interests coexist, even when they appear to contradict one another.โ€ โ€œHis playing tone has a supple, vocal quality to it โ€” murmuring, swelling and becoming rough around the edges. Thereโ€™s a gentle quality to it trimmed with brief moments of shrillness.โ€ โ€œFrustrated with the conventional role of the saxophone โ€” where the instrument carries a melody, delivers a solo and sits in the foreground โ€” he wants to find ways to make it function more as background texture than simply a lead voice. By manipulating the instrumentโ€™s sound through electronic processing, Johnson has developed a language that lets him occupy several musical roles at once โ€” a language that [Jeff] Parker called a significant contribution to contemporary saxophone playing.โ€ โ€œIn true Johnson form, the end point is one heโ€™s trusting himself to move toward. โ€œI know that what weโ€™re looking at isnโ€™t all there is,โ€ Johnson said. โ€œIt can be much better and much more beautiful.โ€โ€ 28 Oct 2026 Los Angeles!

On โ€œIt Can Be Everywhereโ€ Johnson creates a dreamscape with glittering synths, ethereal saxophone pads, and elegiac saxophone/violin melodies. The track has more in common with Cluster, Bitchin Bajas, Tangerine Dream, or Michael Hoenigโ€™s classic Departure from the Northern Wasteland than with any jazz standard. Repetitious low-end synthetics and oscillating tonal polyrhythmics build to a hypnotic drone for Johnsonโ€™s intimate sax melody to sit atop, eventually overtaking the listenerโ€™s focus and transmuting into an almost orchestral high-register siren ring, no doubt due in part to violin contributions from @maciestewart . Johnson says of the track: โ€œโ€˜It Can Be Everywhereโ€™ is both statement and prompt โ€” to imagine something greater, beyond where we currently stand, and to know that we can also carry that imagined place with us.โ€ The track also comes via video filmed and directed by @mikel_patrick_avery , who doubles down on the dreamscape with visions of a masked family doing domestic duties, nature walks, and dancing in their living room, all over long, Fellinian stares through the fourth wall.
