Artist Reviews “Here are some of the best things I heard this year: California EAR Unit playing Julius Eastman's Music at REDCAT”. – Alex Ross’s Blog “The EAR Unit's unveiling of Eastman came across as a disarming but triumphant experience.” – Josef Woodard, LA Times “New York has its Bang on a Can; we have our California EAR Unit: daredevil small ensembles dedicated to what-the-hell -service to whatever new music, of whatever provenance (and the more challenging the better), that happens to cross their line of sight. – Alan Rich, LA Weekly Soizic Lebrat twiddles, caresses her cello in a physical and energic way. She explores the instrument unashamedly, in an experimentation without bound. She is stubborn and carries her ideas with beliefs, which gives to « Bleu solo » suite a real strength. We are immediately seduced by the frank interpretation : Soizic Lebrat is not fussy. Her cello bow is bountiful, sometimes dogged to the trance, or haunted, dreaming... " – Guillaume Tarche, Le son du Grizli mai 2010 On Chris Kubick: "It's really a wonderful idea. The resultant sound is frightening and otherworldly, and suggests that human beings are odd creatures indeed. Why do we make sounds which communicate nothing? There is expression even in non-linguistic sound, and its fun to hear such expression isolated." – review of Language Removal Services S/T CD, by Ben Tausig, Dusted Magazine |
