Robert Vincs is an Australian saxophonist who had been experimenting for more than 20 years before he released Devic Kingdom (Extreme, 2007), originally conceived in the 1980s as a duet of saxophone and computer (a computer programmed to behave like a jazz improviser). Vincs (who also plays other wind instruments) is accompanied only by the computer-generated percussive noises and by an upright bass. His playing is passionate and melancholy, something like a more primitive and abstract version of Gato Barbieri and at times so influenced by ethnic music to sound like a didjeridu. The 15 tracks cover a broad range of styles. As a whole, though, fail to muster a cohesive vision.
