reactions:

  • Included in Sequenza21’s Best Recordings of 2019

  • “[…] a 30-minute pitch-black spiral down into slack strings and popping pickups. A seriously dark piece […]” -"Albums to look out for in 2020", Tim Rutherford-Johnson [ The Rambler ]

  • "[…] the amplified instrument is a stethoscope revealing the microsonorities hiding within ostensible noise. Throughout the disc, ELISION’s prodigious virtuosity pushes beyond itself to what lies on the other side: queer, strange, insatiable vitality.” - “Group Innovation,” Liam Cagney [Gramophone]
