PRESS QUOTES:
"brendon bussy’s diesel geiger is probably the most inventive and finely-tuned of open records’ four new releases. it is a quietly moving and accomplished work, that at times occupies that strange space on the classical/popular continuum shared by kronos quartet. a reviewer recently likened his performance at the open records launch party to john cage, perhaps because of the vast silences during the beginning of his performance. yet bussy on record is anything but cage-like, leaving nothing to chance." - mail & guardian 8/8/03 by julian jonker
