QUOTES
"Izzo deserves a bow for the innovative usage of her flute as the gravitational origin of such beautifully lush sonic clouds . . . 'Mirror(s)' features some of the most impressive solo flute improvising"
-Gary Fukushima, Downbeat Magazine
"Light years beyond what you’d expect from a solo flutist.”
- John Schaefer, WNYC New Sounds"
"Gina Izzo’s electro-acoustic solo guise, ladyybirdd, is the Wild West of solo flute music."
- Foxydigitalis
"That range of technical methods and expressive modes suits Izzo’s original electroacoustic music, and the gear proves essential in crafting the dreamy meditations and dancefloor allusions Izzo evokes."
- Steve Smith, For the Record
"Carefully constructed and beautifully chaotic....an absolute masterpiece in experimentation."
-Xunemag
"Transforms the sound of the acoustic flute through washed out reverbs, analog synthesizers, and FX."
-I Care If You Listen
"Brings an unbridled sense of adventure, razor-sharp technique, and dynamic intensity"
-Honk Magazine
"....rattles speakers and expectations with stop-time razzle, vocal (flute-talk) and electronic (phaser) effects"
-New York City Jazz Record
"....jarring and innovative...dynamic energy"
-CLASSICALITE
"...outside of the realm of expectation...truly unique sound…"
-ARE YOU HIP TO THIS?
