"Tout l’art de Calpini est là, palpable et indéchiffrable à la fois, dissimulé dans les strates de ses compositions, lové dans l’imaginaire de ses auditeurs: sa musique secrète des images, des atmosphères envoûtantes, grinçantes. Il manie les sons comme des textures, des données brutes à affiner, en alchimiste."
"All of Calpini's art is there, palpable and indecipherable at the same time, hidden in the strata of his compositions, coiled in the imagination of his listeners: his music secretes images, mesmerizing, creaking atmospheres. like textures, raw data to refine, alchemist. "

"…un disque magistral…un puissant témoignage de liberté."
"…a masterful record ... a powerful testimony of freedom."
LeTemps.
"Magician of experimental sound ... drummer, composer and improviser, Christophe Calpini navigates brilliantly between electro, jazz and ambient-music. Surrounded by machines of all kinds, creates pared-down sound landscapes that are as beautiful as they are unsettling . A unique free spirit, Christophe Calpini is both inspiration and role model for a new generation of keenly experimental Swiss musicians.”
