PRESS
“...courageous, uncompromising, ultimately successful….” FreiStil #70/Bertl, Germany
"...rich and imaginative sonic vision, where spontaneous and intuitive sounds and their resonant
qualities in time and space are means to reach deeper wisdom and sensitivity,
of ourselves – bodies and souls – as well as of the world around us."
Eyal Hareuveni/Salt Peanuts
"...coherence arises from how Voutchkova arranges these sounds upon time,
threading them together with filmmaker’s sense of rhythm and narrative..."
Jack Chuter/ATTN Magazine, UK
“...Impressive on March 8 was Voutchkova’s ability to develop slowly and maintain improvisational ideas over extended stretches of time. Most of these ideas
focused on nontraditional sonic possibilities of violin performance practice…” The Hudson Review, Elisabeth Lyon
“…the grandiose Voutchkova transforms her instrument into a furious, multi - part contra - harmonious orchestra…” Heilbronner Stimme, Claudia Ihlefeld
“Very impressed by Modus Of Raw… Biliana Voutchkova strikes me as one of those profound and insightful artists who deals in silence, precision of thought, and
a taut compacted mode of expression; only these taut-lipped approaches are suitable for the complex content she’s attempting to delineate, where there are clearly
a lot of unknowns, and you need a degree of courage to get to the heart of the matter…” The Sound Projector, Ed Pinsent
“… not only terrific player but also extremely personable human being…" Boston Globe, USA
“...Voutchkova, as she does on several occasions, speaks as she's playing, in a low tone that's indecipherable to me and all the more mysterious and beautiful
for that. It's a very simple idea, I suppose, but one that I find very strong and oddly moving.” Brian Olewnick/Just Outside, UK
“…her solo record is a sensation.…glimmering performance, one of the most personal and beautiful albums I have heard in a very long time. A solo performance carried by necessity. This will be a classic album…” Thomas Millroth/Orkesterjournalen, Sweden
