Whole Note Magazine writes InchSnizek's artistry both as a soloist and as a collaborator is evident throughout, but nowhere more so than in her InchdialoguesInch with tenor Benjamin Butterfield in Eben's Drei Stille Lieder. She has spent a decade researching this lost, forgotten and neglected generation of composers. Her research, coupled with the artistry of all the performers on this CD, makes it an important addition to our knowledge and the repertoire of the mid- 20th century...Inch Album Tracks 1.

The primeval, freely improvised music of the group Arthea, performed on exotic and even self-designed instruments, feels like a plunge into the many voices of the tropical rain forest. Gradually all of the forms and styles that have ever been practiced on Earth seem to rise up out of a collective musical unconsciousness. These three multiinstrumentalists got together more than twenty years ago to explore the secret of music. Album Tracks 1. Surya 2. Ancestral Now 3. Souffles 4. Overtones 5. Rhomba Express 6. Arcs 7.
