Awards and reviews
June 2012
His idiom often strikes a balance between confrontational dissonance, engaging propulsion, and references that are well-informed and cleverly applied...[Upon Entering a Painting is] dedicated to Tong and Hasegawa, and, like all the performances here, shows them to be sympathetic, scintillating interpreters.
