Accomplished masterpiece of contemporary "post-jazz" and neoclassical. I was speechless and completely stunned when I heard it first time. Frank Hadlich
Beautiful minimalism from Nik Bärtsch’s Ronin, the songs on “Awase” consist of small pinpricks of sound; it’s both moody & moving. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2018
At first listen, the juxtaposition of Sonar's rhythmic constructions and Torn's soaring, furious/tender voice would by themselves be enough of a pull. But digging beyond the surface will reward the listener greatly. There is great depth, emotional nuance, intrigue and change, rewarding repeated listening. Ref: Miles/80's Crim/Tibbetts, but this is truly new music. grate ape
