“and it’s just so much fun to listen to”
“Gina Biver is a musical force of nature”
“awarding the album a perfect score for both the recording and performance”
“it's this unpredictability that Biver weaves into the instrumental fabric as it advances. The chiming phrases of the guitar constitute a through-line for shared commentaries by Lapple and Foote, with the tinkling of Deal's teacups a bright punctuation whenever they appear”
“A listen that benefits much from Greg Hiser’s violin, Ethan Foote’s bass, Scott Deal’s percussion and Jennifer Lapple’s flute, to name a few, Nimbus is a quick listen, but one that makes a sizable impression in the area of chamber music.”
“The music, excellently performed by the Fuse Ensemble”
“Pisano’s rich soprano is nimble around Blevins’ pretty piano”
"I am [enchanted] by the steps of the composer, who invents a different path for each piece."
“A progressive classical side to shoe gaze pop, this is certainly not a date for the feint hearted. Prepare for a sonic walk on the wild side.”
…”It is a unique opportunity to connect with locally based, widely recognized, and progressively iconoclastic artistic innovators in an intimate black box performance space, with no shortage of very smart things to listen to, look at, and play with.”
