Presse:
Michael Stürm (Jazzthing):
"Dirk Strakhof offers an unusual approach to the jazz idiom. [...] Collective
improvisation in what appear to be Asian scales, minimal marimba phrases and
alienating electronic voice experiments, generate a very unique atmosphere
of multicultural sound aesthetics and lift this production from the mass of
world music productions."
Jazzpodium:
"Minimal interventions with broadly applied textures of sound, which
are sometimes interpreted in a gentle, moving way, sometimes in a primordial
and dense way, but always with a wonderful lightness."
Carina Prange (Jazzdimensions)
"Tree of Sounds, those are world music pieces situated somewhere between
Bulgaria, Germany and the imagination. There’s no shying away from electronic
effects which work to enrich the sounds. – A successful CD and a band
from which a lot can still be expected."
