Anemic Music

"With gorgeous dark ambient and drone undertones... this is an album that will definitely appeal to those listeners looking for something a little different from the usual dark ambient fare. This is dark and edgy stuff, with eerie soundscape elements that compliment the guitars perfectly. Fantastic stuff!"—This Is Darkness

"Anemic Music reverberates, resonates and shakes to a range of psychedelic, post-rock, krautrock, scuzz and fuzz influences across a myriad of soundtrack-like instrumentals."—Monolith Cocktail

"Warped Americana vibes and shaded folk mastery."—Jacob Braybrooke, One Track at a Time

The Cabinet of Modern Silent Cinema

"Beautiful sounds, both raw and polished... Omnifarious sounds spraying from the fluidity of a long waterfall. The groove is raw, holding a warmth many listeners will most ebulliently absorb. The quality of recording harks back to early delta blues 78's with connective sonic gems sown throughout. Sometimes there is a feeling this is a lost Fahey or Basho recording, low-fi and a wanderer of tempos and styles. At other times there is the definitive resonance of a much more modern era. Rhythms built with multiple tracks as selections form with sonic sophistication and elegance. Then, back on the train to Chicago to get paid for another two sides of American roots. "—Lost in a Sea of Sound

"Weird and fascinating combination of dub sensibilities, whispering folky guitar, and ambient background noise."—Rosy Overdrive

The Cinema Detective

"Unapologetically anti-virtuosic and sparse... Simultaneously thoughtful, weird and creative... Has a minimalist appeal as the recordings of John Fahey on the Takoma label in the 1970s."—Alan Frank, Minor 7th

"For his 27th Modern Silent Cinema release in 20 years, the Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist and composer artfully unspools lo-fi, deliberately paced instrumental rock."—The Tinnitist

Passages X–XXI (for Solo Piano)

"All about the homespun warmth—the crackles you hear throughout these short compositions, courtesy of the lounge room fireplace."—Simon Kirk, Sun 13

Passages I–IX (for Solo Piano)

"A superb mixture of the ambient and the noir. Contemplative, melancholy, the album's perfect writing music."—Joseph Goodrich, author (The Paris Manuscript and Blood Relations: The Selected Letters of Ellery Queen, 1947–1950)
