Press Quotes
"Dean made brilliant use of his unorthodox line-up of string trio with flute, clarinet and percussion... In all, a masterly achievement." (Ivan Hewett, Daily Telegraph, 05 Jul 2011)
"Low rumblings on a bass drum and edgy scraping from a violin with a paper clip fixed over one string rouse the music into action and from there it keeps rising in rhythmic energy and falling back again into a pit of primeval noises, each time reinventing itself with new material. It is an evocative work and skilfully crafted." (Richard Fairman, Financial Times, 05 Jul 2011)
