Reviews

D. DROBATSCHEWSKY, THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC
Daniel Asia’s Black Light was the program opener that had patrons on the edge of their seats.

B. HOLLAND, NEW YORK TIMES
Daniel Asia’s Black Light… purveyed the new hedonism-a sensuous approach to sound and a generous exploitation of instruments–that makes orchestras want to schedule such music and listeners pay to hear it.
