Simon Goff ~ Vale
Violinist Simon Goff delves into post-rock titles and electronic rhythms, making Vale a true cross-genre affair. Viewing his collaborators and tour partners, it all makes sense; the composer drinks in the best parts of the world and rearranges them into sonic textures.

Robert Honstein ~ Middle Ground
Middle Ground is an accessible experiment, a solid metaphor, and an engaging triptych. But the most memorable aspect of the 20-minute EP is the light show. It’s not clear how it’s being done, but dancing spheres frolic around violinist Kate Stenberg’s wrist
