Press Reviews ''Mathieu Soucy is quite a master on different instruments, including drums, guitar, bass and keyboards. He also dabbles with Fruity Loops, a sophisticated loop program. Improvisation #1 is a very dynamic piece played live with some sequences thrown in for good measure. The drums really do stand out. It is nice to hear 'live' drums for a change. The guitar playing is very accomplished, sensitive and powerful. This is a cool musician, well worth a listen.'' - by Paul Coppeland (2002)
