Press Reviews Here is a review of my work from Listen.com... "Barclay is an amazing pianist with an obvious love for the Avant Garde. Dizzying scales and atonal riffs fly in the listener's face with surprising dynamics and sudden shifts in mood. Restlessly experimenting, he'll occasionally he bring in melodic themes which he'll then explode into shards of musical chaos..." Here is a short review from the MP3.com RHIZOMES station about Track 1.. "He doesnt miss a note." Here is part of a critique from Giovanni Grosskopf atonal composer & pianist, Milan,ITALY - ..."your music is refined and well-made.".... "Your music has a sort of "rage" in it"... "If you ask me if it recalls Action Painting and the large picture by Pollock I saw at the Metropolitan Museum in New York City last summer, yes, it does..." Michael Metz of the Michael Metz Jazz Ensemble says.. "..Good Ideas..Keep up the good work!" Jason of Perfect Sound Forever online music magazine.. "Nice (Cecil) Taylor-esque excursions"
