“An absolutely exciting musical experience.”

Gaffa – Ole Rosenstand Svidt (September 2009)

“The German recitations, the magnificent opera pieces and the small crackling curls – the sounds blend in and out of each other in a kind of interplaying electronic improvisation that somehow all melts together into a higher form.”
Geiger – Mads Kampp Christiansen (November 2009)

“This is not an album packed with radio hits, and if you know the two names behind the release, this probably won’t come as a surprise. What you get is an hour of atmospheric and mood-filled music which comes around most corners in the emotional register.”

Gaffa – Ras Bolding (February 2012)

“Striking soundscapes, fragments of speech and at times actually “real” music: Performing Apart is tailor-made for the listener to wear headphones, close their eyes and fold out their ears.”

Lydtapet – Peter Krogh (February 2012)

“You don’t have to be a neither a connoisseur or a aficionado to realize Martin Hall’s monumental significance to Danish avant-garde culture … the album becomes neither too monotonous nor too fragmented.”

Undertoner – Jeppe Jørgensen (March 2012)

“Performing Apart is a complex game with sound landscapes and not least with the limits of what music is and can be … a tour de force in electronic audio play. It’s beautifully conceived.”
Geiger – Gudrun Hagen (March 2012)
