We stumbled across another excellent review of Tod Machover’s latest CD “…but not simpler…” on AllMusic.com. They totally get what the music is about:
…Machover never loses sight of the emotional side of music that engages the listener naturally, viscerally…For anyone who is tempted to dismiss all modern music as “strange” or inaccessible, this album will prove him or her wrong. Machover seems to have struck the right balance between conceptual art and music at its purest level of feeling.
