«…Charlotte Hug is finding new and fertile ground for string instruments in elecroacoustic settings. This release is another indication that she is well worth keeping an eye on.»
M.Rosenstein, Signal to Noise

«Sounds of the laptop are diffused in ways that effectively reconfigure both the performance space and the space of listening. Hug's additional use of electronics heightens the sense of a reverberant multidirectional music.»
J.Cowley, The Wire

«This is pure experimentation and both Charlotte and Chantale have no boundaries in their imagination and spontaneity.»
Music Extreme

«Die 'matières agitées', 'ciel' oder 'zone of zest' betitelten akustischen Virulenzen sind wie Träume, die einen bis zur Atemlosigkeit involvieren, aber sich dem erwachenden Zugriff entziehen.»
R.Dittmann, Bad Alchemy

«Want to experience up-to-the minute electro-acoustic string playing? You don't have to go any further than these CDs.» (about Hug/Laplante and Zingaro/Voice Crack)
