The Essay Spinning Compass by T. FISCHER (tokafi.com) :
'....His writing belongs to no school, his pieces do not create a movement, his style neither professes originality nor allegiance to any scene. Rather, it stretches across time like a long distance phone line, Bach sending messages to Ives by whispering down a tin can. '
'Although it may not become apparent straight away, the album, as Danilevski puts it, is about the contemporary "European soul", nervously looking around to find a kind of truth, a meaning to life. He is well aware that he is hitting another vaguely defined term here. '

Liner notes by T. FISCHER:
[This music]makes use of strikingly original, idiosyncratic and different dramaturgies for each single work: "None one these pieces is written in traditional form", according to Danilevski, "In fact, in the 20th century, one could rightfully claim that artists were composing old music. They used old forms, pouring new wine into old wineskins. Here, however, nothing uses an old form, except the interlude, improvised by Christophe Deslignes in the two-part form of an Italian madrigal from the Trecento (A + B).
