- "Lines
which are straight or curved, soft or spiky, are drawn by the
instruments and occupy space by expanding or suffocating – not in
a negative way – the music itself intended as a spatial
manifestation. In construction, of construction, construction of
music: indicating the specific meaning of the term but also, in a
reflexive way, music building itself. It is space and builds space.
It is space and becomes part of space. Poetic, musical, sound space.
Within and throughout a spectrum of geographies and geometries from
which emerge twilights and shadows, cracks and oscillations,
incisions and decisions."

- "One
of the most beautiful vocals I've heard in any CD I've reviewed in
the last couple of years" (Dick Metcalf, Zzaj
Productions -
USA).
- The
jazz standard repertoire played in an intimate way by a strict and
essential duo. The nuances of Chet Baker’s art by a violin able to
become a wind instrument (winner at
Top Jazz 2011 and 2010), a moving voice and a deep, round
piano.
