    This transatlantic convergence of innovative, virtuosic minds is a sublime advert for the possibilities of improves post classical composition. [Aug 2012, p.94]

    There's little discordance but much invention and beauty. [Aug 2012, p.73]

    The result is predictably less than comfortable, though certainly not in a difficult, experimental way.

    These twelve abstract and minimal tracks rather act as perfect soundscapes to accompany your dreams and introspections.

    Ms. Hahn, who had tiptoed toward spontaneity in her work with singer-songwriters like Tom Brosseau and Josh Ritter, takes the full plunge [into improvisation] here, with gratifying results.

    There are moments of raw beauty in some of this music.

    Other than some inoffensive feignings at trying something new, there's not too much else to be heard.
