The reviews are in! The reviewers at Paris-Move published a glowing review of Nick May’s album, You, Me, Us, and called it “… one of the most quietly radical and emotionally direct chamber albums of the year.”
Specifically regarding Queer Turquoise, the author had some very kind words to say:
“Queer Turquoise by Aaryn S. Ricucci-Hill is arguably the album’s most underrated highlight, and it deserves far more attention than it typically receives. Its extended, exploratory structure gives May room to range across the saxophone’s full colour palette, from breathy multiphonics to keening high-register cries, while Li’s piano writing works almost as a slowly shifting landscape beneath him, static in the best sense, like weather rolling across a wide horizon. It’s a piece that rewards patience, and this performance earns every one of its eight minutes.”
So thank you to Frankie Pfeiffer for your very kind words about my work! You can check out the album itself on all streaming sites, and there are links to purchase the score and the album in my website store.
