“Nico Muhly: "Here’s how it starts. It’s a sort of narrative, creative thing, a map of the central section of this piece. I write out the images that come to me: a walk at night; columns of light coming at you from cars; it’s a nocturne; a music with stars; big swells—I just write out things I want to retain.
It’s a list of ingredients, in a sense, and then, as you can see at the bottom, it says, “a melody with a halo emerges from the texture.” I wrote out the melody and then corrected it—added a flat. And then I draw out how it should look eventually. It turns into a shape that matches the emotion that I have planned for it. A lot of this is completely random. But it’s a shopping list, shit I have to think about. This ended up being a piece called “It Remains to Be Seen.” Idealistic music about how your life should be."
--from an interview in The Believer.
Pieces of noise all woven together -- really wonderful.”

“Amazing, wonderful. This wunderkind is going to be making waves in the musical sea for a long time! Anyone who enjoys modern classical music should own this album, and all albums produced by Nico.”

“Very compelling sound collage. Very challenging arrangement. Production is breathtaking. Despite the discursive nature, easily listenable.”

“although this is the last tune on the record, this is a great place to start if you're hesitant about checking out modern classical music.
the tune is a soft, catchy folk song (you could probably sing along after hearing it once) that gets repeated while layers of strings, percussion, banjo, and vocal samples work their way in and out. a real accomplishment in uniting the worlds of folk/roots/bluegrass and modern classical. ”

“Thick in its own singularity and depth, graceful, undertow swept exposures dimensioned and discovered. <All three parts>”
