"Beardsley sculpts tones
into overpowering moods.... clearly - in its glacial tension and
release it offered the essential outlines of symphonic form, stripped
of surface detail."
"For those of you who
don't know, David Beardsley plays some amazing ambient, microtonal,
loopy, delicious guitar. "
"The electric guitar
corner was represented by David Beardsley's atmospheric "Around D" —
operative word "around." Beardsley played his maxi-fretted guitar
through a volume pedal, a looping device and other effects to create
swirling layers of meditative droning. Throbbing close tones made it a
vibration-oriented experience."
Josef Woodard,
LA Times
"…it is both mesmerizing and slightly disturbing…I love the way the notes shimmer and float like feathers on the air. You can actually observe the texture of each sound as it slowly evolves. Although I did enjoy the other pieces here by Morton Feldman and the other lesser-known composers, I felt the Beardsley piece was the most fascinating of the bunch."
