"Chris Abrahams' pieces defy easy categorisation. He creates music that is unto itself, but profoundly open to the situations in which it is encountered. It's this porous quality that makes his work so intoxicating. It is a music of moments, cycling in memory and accumulating across time in a way that is without compare."

Lawrence English/Room40


"Pike's solo work is a marvel, radiating the absolute confidence of a man in command of his instruments and making very difficult things seem inevitable. He creates a hyper-aware universe of constant, new, undefinable sound, that only he could make. He expresses himself through performance with a commitment that goes far beyond energy and will... mature and enthralling work that gives us real ritual. Ceremonies taken seriously that generate real power."
