"Flutist, vocalist, electronic musician, performs solo torch-noise behind a microphone, keyboard and computer screen with the most colorful Max layout I'd ever seen. Later, I learned of her association with folks like Fred Frith, Zeena Parkins and Joelle Leandre, but here's a list of people I think should seek her out ASAP: Kate Bush, Maja Ratkje, Meredith Monk, Mike Patton, John Zorn, Britney." - Dusted Magazine 5/16/2008 --------------------------------------------------= ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- "MaryClare Brzytwa makes noises spanning electronic blips to manipulated flute solos to sparse piano/vocal pieces that sound like the show tunes of the damned, conceived by someone chained up in Sondheim's basement." - Philadelphia City Paper 1/15/2008 _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ "Ambient , Nervous, and Scattered. MC rocks!"" - Fred Frith in All about Jazz (Italy) 7/1/2007 _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ "Flautist and laptop electronic player MaryClare Brzytwa seems to have metamorphosed out of a wormhole in Riot Grrrls in Wonderland." - Bad Alchemy (Germany) 8/1/2007 _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ "Unusually intriguiging improv. Avant Gaurde improv that sometimes utilizes traditional dramaturgy. Motorized, hypnotic rhythms and vibrating, pulsing quadrants. Spacial electronics interweaved with lines of melodies seeped in mysterious micro and macro sounds and surprisingly coarse and prepared textures. mysterious, magical tension, abstract paintings concretizing themselves in our suspenseful emotions and passions. Liturgical, meloncholy arrest in unusual colors." - Informator "Ars" (Poland) 12/1/2007 ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ "Take Oakland, California's MaryClare Brzytwa — an acclaimed flutist whose music often blends her preferred instrument with a sack full of odd electronics to create haunting sound scapes.Her songs are warped journeys through twisted pathways of noise that explore and test boundaries on a whim. The flute, as played by Brzytwa, is an instrument that can quickly jump from a tortured nightmare to softly drifting lullaby. The California artist adds another layer of surrealism to her work with the help of strange sound effects that tease out the otherworldly aura of her music. It is an unnerving cocktail of beauty and dreamlike melody." - Philadelphia Northeast Times 1/27/2008 ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ "Maybe electrified female angst and all the beautiful things that spring from it floats your kayak. Then Oakland local MaryClare Brzytwa ('brist wahh', Polish) will transport you to netherworlds containing dark and twisty dimensions using a looped flute and custom computer programs that turn her devices into automaton improvisers, with a twist." - SF Weekly 9/6/2007 ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ "Even the space between sounds takes on significant meaning and function, truly a magnificent and important contribution to the undomesticated sounds of experimetation." - KFJC Online Reviews 10/15/2007
