Mark Swed, LA Times - Review of concert with Lukas Ligeti, Jeff Gauthier and Becca Mhalek, Bonnie Jones and Andrea Neumann. Bulk of review talks about Lukas but he did have this one nice quote that I appreciated.

Jones and Neumann turned knobs and knocked around inside a piano. Sine waves and electronic whirring met various noises, while VJ Fader illuminated the stage with swirls. The machines spoke in their language, and we eavesdropped.

Brian Olewnick – Just Outside Blog – Review of “One Day” Toshimaru Nakamura/English (Joe Foster, Bonnie Jones)- One Day (Erstwhile).

Very tough, excellent recording, hard (for me) to fully grasp–don’t know that I have, yet–but I like it a lot. I often have this problem with “open-circuit” musicians, probably not for any good reason–it takes a while for things to sink in. Might also have to do with the way this music straddles and hops around the middle ground between extended sounds and isolated ones. Just when you’re beginning to appreciate something on a drone-like level (more hum than drone, actually), it breaks off and just when you’re beginning to enjoy the placement of small, crackly sounds in space, a hum sets in. You kind of have to aurally “step back” and reconcile the two–or I do, anyway, and that’s only one thing going on here. Took me a good four or five listens to do so and I’m happily bathing in the music at this point. Really good, really challenging. After all’s said and done, maybe my favorite release this year.

“One Day” Review, A Spiral Cage Blog

…the music is always on the verge of falling into total noise and strays at the edge between stasis and chaos that where the truly interesting, challenging and deep sounds come from.

“One Day” Review, Kurt Gottschalk, Squidco

There’s lots of detail in his work, but they tend to push the listener toward quiet contemplation. If ordinarily he’s hang-gliding, however, here he, Foster and Jones are just trying to keep balance – in a submarine.

“One Day” Review, Bill Meyer, Dusted

The trio manages to make dancing flecks of crackle compelling and briefly sounded retreating tones thrilling in ways that no written description can convey. This music holds no more truck with symbols post-facto than it did while it was made, but simply remains what it is — irreducible and exciting.
