What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Roger Horrocks is up with the zeitgeist, from esoteric punk to arcane European avant-garde. He has kept me happily guessing for decades by suggesting new music names to me. From Ars Subtilior to Wandelweiser, Horrocks leads the reader gently by the ear into his world of listening, and we’re enchanted.” – Eve de Castro-Robinson (composer)
“This book is a must read for anyone with music in their lives. Horrocks’s passion for music in its broadest spectrum is inspiration to get out there and hear what’s going on. You don’t know what you are missing! It’s an insightful exploration through time and location of that amazing phenomenon we call music.” – Peter Scholes (composer, conductor)
