"Trumpeter Arthurs and electronics wizzard Britton … are comparably balanced and equvalent voices engaged in animated dialogue." Julian Cowley, The Wire, November 2016.
" … perfect for those craving arcane curios and totally free music." Electronic Sound, November 2016.
The records of Vaucanson’s Muse by Tom Arthurs and Isambard Khroustaliov have arrived, been numbered and signed and are being shipped! Many thanks to all who supported the production of the record via Kickstarter. The record will be getting a general release in the not too distant future.
