“A multi-scenic setting of a poem by Catalan poet Felip Costaglioli, “Forth and Back” benefits considerably from the presence of soprano Carrie Henneman Shaw, whose singing helps humanize Miller's ponderous, dream-like reverie, and the evocative character of Costaglioli's text is complemented by an equally rich backdrop of piano, woodwinds, and mallet percussion. Shaw also appears on the suitably titled nocturne “Twilight” and, wordlessly, on the crepuscular closer “Consortia,” the latter nicely enhanced by inner piano strums and bowed vibraphone textures. ”
Read More“Zeitgeist does a wonderful job here playing with passion and dedication. I can only hope that we hear more from both Zeitgeist and Mr. Miller… This release from New Focus Recordings belongs in the collection of any new music fan and certainly every Zeitgeist fan.”
Read More“Flutist Elizabeth McNutt and pianist Shannon Wettstein handled…highly difficult and often quirky works with skill and elan. Many of the selections were musics that are not easy to project to an audience, no matter where the location, but Calliope has a special skill for making the complex clear and kindly.”

“began with George Antheil's "Ballet Mecanique," which had a riotous reception at its Paris premiere 70 years ago this month. Performed here on four pianos, drums, sirens and clanking noisemakers, the driving music made a glorious racket. Today it sounds more prankish than radical. But it was played with tremendous energy by Red Fish Blue Fish, a skillful ensemble from the University of California at San Diego. During the performance, a silent experimental film of the 1920's by Fernand Leger was projected, just as Antheil had intended.”
Read More“This is only second appearance, and the classic Erato recording has served us well. But here is another highpoint of this set. The harpsichord is a deliciously pungent instrument here, and the percussion is mixed together so well that well are almost hearing one instrument as Xenakis intended. Yes, this is a wonderful performance!”
