Interview with  Alejandro Rutty about "Exhaling Space"

Cristina Baccín, "Corazon Tanguero".  KUNM, Albuquerque,

 

“Rutty is a very original voice...” 

The Classical Voice of North Carolina

 

"Alejandro Rutty's "The Conscious Sleepwalker Loops," a MATA commission, [is] a riotous collage of Argentine tango, some over-the-top Hollywoodesque flamenco, and various other Latin tropes. Rutty layers all this into an orchestrated remix, and the result is a blaring, multi-channel, gleefully vernacular carnival. It made a terrific curtain-raiser."  

Boston Globe

 

"Alejandro Rutty’s amusing “Conscious Sleepwalker Loops” offered an immediate test of the ensemble’s mettle by pulling it briskly through a catalog of 19th- and 20th-century styles, slung together in much the same way a rock musician might make a mashup." 

New York Times

"This release...sizzles with the energy and passion of Latin and world music influence....Not to be missed is Martian Milonga ... A Mars Colony (2145)... grounded in solid craftsmanship and given new futuristic life that even a Martian would love"

Holly Harris, Winnipeg Free Press

"Engaging sound world that invites the listener in on often fascinating aural journeys"
