Chris Pitsiokos, born in 1990, is a New York/Berlin-based saxophonist, composer, and improviser renowned for his contributions to the avant-garde jazz, free jazz, and free improvisation genres. His music, which defies easy categorization, combines the intensity and immediacy of extreme rock forms and noise with the lyricism and complexity of jazz.

Early Life

Pitsiokos has been praised by Rolling Stone for his 'startlingly original vision' and 'astonishingly fleet sax work'. Downbeat has identified his band CP Unit as 'a persuasive combination of harmolodic jazz and contemporary noise rock'. As a soloist, he has developed a unique voice on the alto saxophone, expanding the instrument's vocabulary and multiplying its emotive and formal possibilities.

Career

He has performed extensively in North and South America, Europe, and Japan, appearing at major festivals such as the Wels Unlimited Festival in Austria, Sapporo International Arts Festival in Japan, Moers Festival in Germany, and many others. In New York, he has presented his work at venues like Roulette Intermedium, ISSUE Project Room, and during a residency at John Zorn’s club the Stone.

Pitsiokos's list of collaborators reads like a who's who of the luminaries in 20th and 21st-century improvised music, experimental music, and jazz. He has worked with artists such as Jaimie Branch, Luke Stewart, Peter Evans, Tyshawn Sorey, Lea Bertucci, Weasel Walter, Otomo Yoshihide, Nate Wooley, Axel Dörner, Julien Desprez, Sachiko M, Mazen Kerbaj, and Paul Lytton.
