Reviewer's comments:

If you have any interest at all in granular synthesis, get this disc and see how it is used by a master. (Warren Burt, Computer Music Journal, 23(4), 106)

Song of Songs presents both the state of the art in electronic sound production and the expressive power that a mature composer can bring to the medium... All the pieces on this CD will reward repeated listening but Song of Songs moves beyond being merely interesting: it challenges listeners both to immerse themselves in the soundscape and to step back and decipher it. (Paul Hertz, Leonardo )
