Our most recent release https://tricentricfoundation.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=160d6668cf53ebd24ee6aefe1&id=d3e4cd8ffc&e=66fc172f4e" rel="nofollow - GTM (Syntax) 2017 continues to garner rave reviews.

The Wire Magazine calls it "...a rush, a puzzle, an submersion into mind-altering wave forms...an intoxicating listen, recalling most closely Luciano Berio's work with The Swingle Singers. In other words, avant garde mastery."

Bandcamp's https://tricentricfoundation.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=160d6668cf53ebd24ee6aefe1&id=d41c167ef8&e=66fc172f4e" rel="nofollow - Acid Test column says, "Over each of the dozen hour-long variations, the singers stretch the limits of the human voice in nearly unimaginable ways, flying through operatic passages of long number combinations and repeated words that would seem random if the arrangements weren’t so staggeringly complex...it’s an overwhelming achievement of composing, performance, and group improvisation. I wish we could shoot it into outer space for the aliens to hear."
