Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Stephen Flinn, Jung-Jae Kim, and Sylvain Monchoce create a spatial fullness of acoustic resonance with small, delicate, and exquisite sound sources. Their music walks cautiously deep into silence, meditative waves, and tranquil moments. The three musicians interact with each other, with the space and the instant, with the energy of amplitude, and sketch the soundscape of a minuscule universe."-Creative Sources
