The new album 'AFTERGLOW' occupies a space somewhere between new classical and minimalism. Dispensing completely with drums or percussion of any kind, it is a work composed and constructed from live and treated piano, cello, trumpet and guitar loops to produce a series of ambient textures and intimate spaces that unfold over time, layer by layer.
“Listening to it is a beautiful experience. This kind of music makes the world vibrate in ever so slightly closer harmony.”
Chuck van Zyl, Star’s End
“Simply beautiful -
“Afterglow is easily one of the best releases of 2011 and, perhaps, the decade so far. It earns my highest recommendation. Rating: Excellent” Bill Binkelman, Zone Music Reporter
“Incredible depth, subtlety, and vibrant emotional resonance. It literally calls
out to the listener to be an active participant in the dialogue that is unfolding.”

“I'm utterly flabbergasted by the perfection of "Afterglow", not a weak track, not
an hesitation, not a shortcut, no inconsiderate pretension.” -
“For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.”
