IN THE PRESS

... "An electroacoustic setting in which the three voices join together into one same ethereal convolution. Similar in a way to the aesthetics of the ECM label, with a cocoon-like atmosphere, spacey harmonies and multiple poetic references. Lydia Domancich's music is all about cultural crossbreeding... It also demonstrates her wish to blend world music with sounds from our everyday life. Our universe is fluid and smooth : "Lost in the mist, waiting and listening... Active memories where time and space meet and minglet" ... (Jazz in Time)

... "A balance between continuity and disruption. Continuity from a profoundly individual compositional style and the use of sampling as key purveyor of sound textures. Yet, because of the changes in instrumentation, "Mémoires" is in no way a mere repetition of its predecessor... A beautifully arranged and subtly atmospheric work that grows on the listener with each successive listen." (J-C Alluin • Notes)

... "A sort of journey that strengthens the images conveyed in our minds, making them come to life in a vibrant and dreamy way. In other words, an allegory." (Jazz Notes)
