The Offspring Bites 3 reviews are already starting to roll in:
“I’m blown away by the incredible energy, clarity, intelligence and spirited engagement that the musicians bring to the performances.”
– Vanessa Lann (composer, The Netherlands/USA)
“The latest album from Ensemble Offspring immediately demands re-visits with its dynamic juxtaposition of works by Alex Pozniak (a powerfully dramatic assaying of weight in music), Holly Harrison (a witty, hip take on instrumental and other musical distortions) and Thomas Meadowcroft (a gently vibrating meditation that opens out to a pulsing expansive vision). As ever, these Australian works are superbly played and recorded by Ensemble Offspring.”
– Keith Gallasch (RealTime) [Read the full RealTime review]
“En Masse doesn’t disappoint, brimming with Pozniak’s signature darkness and punctuating bold gestures… a rare treat for my ears.”
– Lachlan Skipworth (composer, Perth)
