"Both pieces tremble with giddy energy, but also exude a calm atmosphere in their chiming overtones. In the end, flute and guitar fully unite: The former folds into the latter in a triumphant refrain that soars so high it sounds light-headed, as if Chatham is dizzied by his own playing" - Pitchfork (7.6/10)

This is one of the best albums i've ever heard. I swear, I will never hear anything like it again.
Don't tell anyone but I cried the first time I heard it. rewritephobia
“With Julius, he was based in repetition, but here was a spirit of openness and improvisation. His scores, if they were written out that way, were often like jazz scores. He loved multiplying instruments – four pianos, ten cellos – so there was a real feeling of the presence of the instrument, not just using an instrument in some kind of equation, as a means to an end.” ~ Mary Jane Leach
Enough said. pt
J’étais à Carnac hier et je suis tellement triste que vous n’ayez pas pu jouer à cause de fanatiques sourds et aveugles. Ils espèrent une belle vie après la mort mais sont déjà morts de leur vivant, mort dans leur âme, incapables de la moindre émotion autre que celle dictée par leur foi … je les plaint tellement.
