373. Missax

The rise of affordable audio interfaces, open‑source synthesis tools, and algorithmic composition software has democratized sound production (Théberge, 2020). Within the saxophone community, projects such as Saxophone‑FX (Liu, 2021) and LiveLoopSax (Nolan, 2022) illustrate how electronic augmentation expands the instrument’s expressive palette. Missax’s reliance on these tools aligns with a broader DIY ethic that merges artistic practice with activist praxis (Guerra, 2022).
