    Hampson has a discerning ear for when and how to place sounds to best offset each other. [Aug 2012, p.73]

    The tactile crackle and hiss underscoring the calm piano makes this all Hampson's work, as excellent and remarkable as always.

    Call it detached, call it obtuse, call it aloof, but Répercussions oddly gives the listener the idea that Robert Hampson is currently in a content place.
  4. Dusted Magazine

    Répercussions exists in a completely different universe, far removed from rock tropes, and sits comfortably within the spectrum of modern electro-acoustic and minimal composition.
