“A torrential and astonishing album, which sounds like nothing else and acts as a peremptory statement: there is a new school in New York.“
—Best Albums of 2024, Giornale Della Musica
“This hefty new double album captures the continuing journey of New York violinist Modney (née Josh Modney), a virtuoso classical musician who’s increasingly followed a deep interest in sound qua sound… It’s an incredibly dense, detail-packed endeavor that’s as wondrous as it is demanding.“
—Peter Margasak, Bandcamp Daily
“Moments of transcendent beauty, captivating violence and dense lyricism alternate with raw elegance. Modney’s compositions blur the boundaries between the notated and the spontaneous …breathes empathy and hope into the search for truth.”
— Kay Friedrichs, Klenkes
