Reviews

Corps Exquis, on New Amsterdam Records:

NPR’s Heavy Rotation: “…Wohl and his TRANSIT new-music ensemble attain a remarkable assortment of electronic and organic sounds blended to the point of inseparability…compact melodic gestures unfold with the lyricism of calligraphy, while its diaphanous harmonies somehow transport, unsettle and delight all at once.”

New Music Box: “endlessly interesting…a seamless marriage of acoustic instruments and electronics that opens its mouth and sings, up close and personal, in a language that retains its vibrant human energy.”

Pitchfork: “…beautiful and maze-like, with sounds emanating from all directions in your listening space.”

NPR’s All Things Considered: “exquisite sound world”
