Sarah Clausen is a saxophonist, sound artist, and composer based in Chicago, IL. Using woodwinds, synthesizers, and electronics, Sarah evokes much of the inexplicable sensorial feelings and interconnectedness of the human condition through her compositions and soundscapes.

"Sarah is one of a new generation of musicians currently making waves in Chicago's fertile creative music scene."

-Tim Daisy/Option Curator, Editor-Full Rook Jazz

New Album With Many Hands out now on Empty Stage Records

“With Many Hands is outstanding enough to warrant the exception. Its slow-moving, almost ambient songs, built largely from reeds, electronics, and voice, span a kaleidoscopic range of moods and textures. On “Cry,” Clausen uses an effects pedal to stretch out a resonant woodwind note like a fitted bedsheet, providing a canvas for her somber singing to move across the song in a dramatic, elegant sweep.”
