“Composer and musician Miguel Kertsman lets us hear music rooted in European classical traditions and Brazilian folklore…An unbelievable Journey through time and Brazil’s music history… Overall, this music remains indescribable and defies categorization.” – Rolling Stone
“Miguel Kertsman’s original and enjoyable documentary in music… You can listen to it as creatively enhanced “early music”, or you could draw parallels with present-day Britain… Whatever your attitude, Amazonica exerts a direct appeal to ear and imagination.” – BBC Music
“The music is haunting and beautiful. It conjured up images of wind-swept castles and haunted marshes” – John Breeden – Game Industry News
“On the whole this is an astounding work, full of musical genius, and brimming with ideas that may make your eyes pop….But Kertsman is so much more than far-out noodling in space-time. The Brazilan-born artist has performed with orchestras… and is at home with a grand pipe organ as he is with electronic instruments. In the lush and fantastic Time? What’s Time? I was expecting Philip Glass-like play with dynamics and time signatures, but that’s just a beginning for Kertsman. He’s all over the place, layering tribal sounds over a bed of ambient music, string ensembles, a full symphony, baroque singing, and even pop singing with lyrics… a head trip… sending the listener on fantastic flights of fancy…” – Lynn Voedisch – Blogcritics.org
