Reviews:
The Wire:
- "On Mock Interiors Esther Venrooy finds her in the company of fellow composer and improviser Heleen Van Hagenborgh. The pair concentrate
on shorter forms ‹ the CD contains 11 tracks ‹ but the
prevailing heartbeat remains slow, and the music is no less
intense and thoroughly worked. Pianist Van Hagenborgh has
studied with, amongst others, John Tilbury, and it shows
in her timing and touch. But there¹s dark Romanticism to her
playing too, best exemplified in the sombre minor harmonies
of Impromptu Dhalia, which Venrooy extends and explores with
the breathtaking precision and sensitivity of a brain surgeon. (Dan Warburton)"

score: 10/10"....I have heard many examples of people combining electronics with acoustic sources. But there are many ways to fuck that up and much less ways to do it right. This time it has been done very well...The balance between electronic and acoustic is really splendid" Jos Smulders, Earlab

"...Mock Interiors" grijpt ons vanaf de eerste seconde bij ons nekvel en laat ons nooit meer los.."
