Michael Foster’s Ghost

About

Michael Foster is a New York City-based saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist whose artistry bridges improvisation, noise, free jazz, performance art, queer theory and graphic and video notation. His work aims to subvert the traditional roles of saxophone, amplifying his horn with a range of unconventional tools, including objects, balloons, drum heads, vibrators, tapes and samples. His newest album, Selections from the Gutter , was released in May 2026, using improvised music to explore themes of history, form and drama. Here he leads his Ghost ensemble, featuring Joey Sullivan on drums and Zach Rowden on bass and tapes.
