The Wire
By Clive Bell, June
[…] denotes a composer whose capacity for intrigue persists […] With a sense of freedom, naturalness and directness […] There is a plenty of variety without rhetoric or hysteria and enough space yo make listening simple and pleasurable […] simply a very strong performance […] A stirring musical journey into the heart of pi-manipulated chaos
ISCM Selection South — Africa
Lamento di Nadima was selected as one of the six Flemish pieces for the World Music days in South- Africa.
Jazzwise
[…] Although innovative, this extended work for her own electronics and four percussionists holds a more direct appeal, descend from the powerful and atmospheric narratives created by Varèse, Xenakis and Stockhausen […].
