Corrosion reviews
“And, all together, of course, is a real delight. Here is an excellent example of electroacoustic musical discovery that calls for repeated auditions.” – https://beatsforpeeps.com/reviews/cadernos-do-underground-3/
“plunges the listener into an unfamiliar animal world” – JazzMania.be
“The communication is perfect, the three understand each other completely, and we get to take part in an extremely exciting journey in the free-flowing improvisational landscape that hits us in the middle of the soul.
Three exciting musicians based in Portugal and London, you really have to keep a close eye on them in the future.” – Salt Peanuts
“highly recommended for adventurous ears; not recommended for sensitive ears”
