Publication Title Author Date Reaction Synopsis Type
Coda Apple Source Kevin Whitehead 8/92 Positive "Teitelbaum's beautifully rendered 'Intera', using his complex and flexible live-sampling programs, revealed each player's char- acter (to use Richard's analogy) as a mirror does." Review
Los Angeles Times Cultural Variety in 'Masters of Traditio Chris Pasles 3/27/92 Negative "Long stretches seemed to pass solely for the purpose of creating material that could then be electronically manipulated...neither the primary nor the secondary material proved very interesting." Review
The Japan Times 'Music from Japan' makes a hit in NY Marc Moses 4/5/92 Positive "the music...bridged the gap between the nohkan's piercing cry and the electronic sounds of Teitelbaum's computer." Review
The Washington Post Japan's Dualism in Sound Joseph McLellan 3/23/92 Positive "What musical combination could suggest Japan in the late 20th century more aptly than a dialogue between an age-old bamboo flute and a computer?" Review
