"It's like the three
musicians are channelling themselves through the same default sound - a
strikingly original opening gambit to a savvy hour of improvised
music."
Philip Clark, The Wire, February 08
"From hot, Dolphy-esque cascades to piano-roll pointillism, to
unresolved twelve-tone tales, its improvised chamber music of the
highest order."
Clifford Allen, Signal to Noise
