"The instrumentation is an exciting and fresh treat for the ear. The ability to create textures is omnipresent in the exquisite song “Interface,” a rich melody playing in the dark void of space subsumed by the fascinating timbre of the bass clarinet." Debbie Burk - jazz author (UK)

"It's almost easy to forget that there are only two instruments on songs like "Interface. As the title of this stunning effort might suggest, its inner dualism is definitely something to behold. On the one hand, the music is incredibly sophisticated and intelligently crafted".

A moody lyricism is the engine that drives this recording, and that foundation allows plenty of room for passages of deep contemplation and sudden, thrilling bursts of flight".
