Composer Comments on QUILT
John Psathas - Matre's Dance:
"This is a superb recording of a great performance. I love the marriage of hyper-charged energy with cool precision. The ensemble with Tomoko is exceptional and the unfailing clarity of the smallest subdivisions (even in the most intense passages) gives this recording a sense of momentum and indefatigable energy - which is absolutely true to the original spirit of the piece. It’s a great endorsement of Matre’s Dance, and I’m thrilled with what you’ve achieved."
Dave Hollinden - Surface Tension:
"Norm and Todd have created a fine recording. Their instruments sound good and their phrasing is articulate, allowing the small details in the music to come through. And they control the dynamics such that they can maintain energy and drive throughout the entire piece. They have captured the spirit of the music in a fine performance."
Richard McCandless - Voyager:
"It's rare that a composer has a recording of one of his works that conveys his vision of that work, and this is what Norman Weinberg has done with "Voyager." His interpretation and performance are precisely what I intended. I consider his recording to be the definitive performance."
Brett William Dietz - Rechargeable Light:
"You really sound great on my piece. It sounds exactly the way I
envisioned it my head. Thank you for this gift! I love your electronic works. Also - your interp of Matre's Dance is awesome!!!"
