The style of his musical playing is directly bound to the conceptions elaborated during the 1960’s by artists as John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, Eric Dolphy, Archie Shepp, Miles Davis and Booker Little. Torrent found access to the understanding of their fascinating innovations trough a deep exploration of the melodic-harmonic paths of their music. This search demanded the development of a refined and particular musical intelligence that allows the saxophonist to improvise with full coherence, avoiding thus all superficial copy. The essential interest of Torrent, aroused by the above mentioned musicians, consists into their use of traditional structures as a spring-board to logical harmonic ways out. To him, this kind of development added a new dimension to his interpretation and improvisation. About the process of composing, Torrent uses intuition through meditation combined with musical theory. Concerning the band, the saxophonist chooses musicians, first of all, for the richness of their inspiration and for their energetic capacity of improvisation; then for their ability to give the right stylistic colour to the music, just as their cleverness to bring the collective playing to high intensities while keeping on coherence even into the very free sequences
