Fascinating interpretation [of Sciarrino]...You need to hear it".

The Wire



An "innovative sense of adventure... Yet another imaginative and compelling disc from Nonclassical"

I Care If You Listen



A hugely adventurous offering...Her remarkably fresh, direct, playing [brings] joyful life to everything she performs.
The Strad



Orazbayeva's articulation is as sharp and merciless as a white-hot needle honing right in on its target...Outside is bracingly, delightfully weird.

MUSO



[A] profoundly radical and inventive approach... [In OUR] astonishing far-out musical tones are created and generated with great assurance in a seamless mixture of acoustic playing and cyber-music...Here Orazbayeva displays her skill for steady, continuous sound and glorious atonalities, combining it with Zinovieff’s dark cybernetic utterances and producing a music so strange that you can taste it.
