“…Genovese’s alternate vision of Werner Herzog’s Aguirre, the Wrath of God… after its seemingly calm flow, Genovese goes into other directions… an exploding electronic music piece akin to Jackson Pollock’s paintings… takes us to some very dark and undiscovered places… sounds like an electronic re-interpretation of renaissance church music gone awry…
SKYMYTH is certainly demanding, but ultimately a rewarding listen for all those who think their music should be thought-inspiring too.

“…clear this is something that’s been loving worked over in microscopic intense detail… painted in broad strokes of Wolfgang Voigt’s GAS via a bank of speakers all beginning to lose battery power at different rates of decay.
…feels like tiny fragments of horns etched into beams of light, on the razor’s edge between feedback and the infinite.
…the orchestra is somehow 3D printed into an endless strand of DNA.
SKYMYTH might grow out a form of ambience but this is no vague background mood enhancer. Deep within these pieces are storm fronts and atoms of music sucking your ears and mind into something oddly beautiful and infinitely dynamic…”

"Genovese immediately tests endurance with a thirty-five minute sound tissue monolith. Processional: Ascending Numinous Mountain features a bizarre repetitive melody with a cinematic feel, with eerie pulses creating an exciting hypnotic effect. The track ripples like a kidney dialysis machine…
The result is an adventurous cosmic mash of sound blocks and sharp tones that regularly lean against the pain threshold, without falling into endless noise.
The tattoos on the eardrums and meninges are included free of charge with these challenging and captivating avant-garde compositions that the sound wizard presents us.”

Signals for Signs: “It’s ambient, but it has a cut-glass edge; you would run blood-red if you approached too close.”

THIS THING THAT THOUGHT IT WAS BECOMING
“…recalls a supercharged version of Bernhard Günter’s early looks towards digital nihility; subsequently, the appearance of strange pseudo-orchestral flashes awakens us from the hypnosis. A “cosmically explosive” finale (of sorts) subverts any expectation gathered until that moment.
…a kind of brutal truthfulness is detectable in each piece…”

THE LOCUST IN YOUR MOUTH
“The Locust in your Mouth” – “The Flower in your Throat” – “The Bee in your Eye”.… Titles that do not exactly conjure the most comfortable of images. But don’t let this scare you off too much, since there is a lot of beauty to be found in the rich soundscapes…”
— Peter van Cooten – AmbientBlog.net (Utrecht, Netherlands)
“I’m listening right now and enjoying your music a lot… Very evocative.”
