"definitely a member of the waisted lute family" - university music professor
"the complexity of sounds you created with your soulful intensity were a really lovely musical treat." - email from a listener
"a beautiful, poignant exploration of integration/disintegration, sanity/insanity, coherence/incoherence...the world" - a listener to the cd lines
"i've never heard a better depiction of war than your performance of dylan's masters of war...extremely moving" - concert attendee
"thank you, thank you, thank you. what serendipity it was that brought us together. your music was such an important and moving part of the [wedding]
ceremony. it was truly beyond our expectations. you were great to work with and an exceptionally gifted musician. we can't thank you enough."
specifically about the cosmic pit orchestra...
"a drug experience for sober people" - concert attendee
"there are more extension cords and pedals than at a pink floyd concert.
...the amplified cello and guitar launch into trippy experimental music with tribal undertones. both musicians appear possessed.
this is the soundtrack to my alien abduction. " - duluth news tribune
"first of all i really enjoy the cosmic pit orchestra. simply badass....
as far putting that music into a category... heavy ambience comes to mind...
when i heard you guys at the grace i thought to my self 'what level of heaven have i entered?!'" - heavy metal musician/concert attendee
"i really fucking adored your music; thank you so much; you made my dark day much brighter" - tip jar note from concert attendee
"skillful musicians...great to watch creating music live in the moment" - john ziegler, kumd radio interview
"i dreamed a painting - i think it was a painting? i think it was the cosmic pit orchestra but 'you' were a large bird -
big beak, black wings - your neck moved back and forth while you played the cello with your wings? actually i could barely see the cello -
i decided it was a cello after waking but really it was like the bird was both you and the cello.
richie [the electric guitar player] was unclear except that his guitar floated and was battered by hummingbirds.
i think he was behind them but i couldn't see him. between you guys were a bunch of woodpeckers on a tree trunk and dead stump.
above the woodpeckers was an owl - kinda hard to see - i kept trying to tell if it was really there. pretty weird but i think it all fits -
i trust you to just take this with a grain of salt. i thought it was fun. i dreamed it the morning after seeing you at the quaker meetinghouse concert.
i may do something with this -
i don't know. good dream anyway. great concert." - molly tillotsen (artist)
