“Contemporary/improvising bass clarinettist Oğuz Büyükberber intertwined with the sinuous saxophone playing of Viennese Sophie Hassfurther. A much more intense and different experience.”

Oliver Weindling, London Jazz News (UK)

Beeindruckende Klanggebäude mit mehreren Ebenen und einer Vielzahl verwinkelter Räumlichkeiten”

Rainer Bratfisch, Jazz Podium (D)

“Improvisations are the basis of the fourteen original pieces that characterize Mind Like Water. However, it is not the case that all of these compositions should be classed as “free improvisation”. On the contrary. Each piece is based on an elaborate idea, and after repeated listening one cannot help but conclude that it has been substantially refined.”

Rinus van der Heijden, Jazznu (NL)
