  • Six Short Places' series of short tracks have already highlighted the colorful and dynamic possibilities of the new orchestra. Resident of the Ostrava Days Institute 2017 Devin Maxwell has created a number of slots from higher units that come and dissolve as unexpectedly. In this narrative music without violent edges, organically fit differently rhythmically built surfaces and lines that draw more or less complete images. Thus the images of the still open imagination of the listener. It is also worth mentioning here a clear and wide orchestral sound, this time carefully scanned and gently amplified by the Czech Radio Ostrava Technique through the speaker. 11/30/2017. https://www.casopisharmonie.cz/kritiky/ono-poprve-...
  • All About Jazz Review of Six Short Places Premiere: Anything that followed Niblock was set to be a striking shift, and Devin Maxwell's "Six Short Pieces" (another world premiere) highlights the microphoned set-up for the entire orchestra, even if these are placed at a discreet distance. The six pieces take up around 12 minutes, with concise stabs, rationed percussion, powerful micro-solos for piano and harp, the penultimate segment being notably compressed, featuring swift exchanges of brass, vibraphone and string-swoops. 11/23/2017. https://www.allaboutjazz.com/ostrava-days-2017-ros...
