Press Reviews ". . . a young composer with rare gifts. Mr. Rosenbloom creates a sonic texture that is simultaneously very old and very new, combining chantlike monophony, elegant minimalism, world music, and rock elements into a beguiling blend that owes as much to the Far East as to Lower Manhattan... his work possesses a compelling spiritual propulsion and undeniable seriousness of intent." Tim Page, New York Times; On Departure/Souls of Chaos: "... both stunning, sensurround works that combine Eastern ethnic and classical elements into just the most tensile fabric imaginable... Creating new styles through synthesis is my bag, making this the most exciting 'New Music' I've heard all year." John Sumner Foster, OP Magazine; "What David Rosenbloom has brought with this record on the market is the most fascinating, refreshing and above all promising record that the New York new music scene has up to this point delivered." Jazz Nu (Amsterdam); "Rosenbloom's use of instrumentation is capable of taking the arid terrain of modern classicism and putting some life into it...I want to hear more from this man." Steve Fritz, Terminal (Boston)
