Alex Simu Quintet 11.05.2017 Live At Bimhuis

‘The soundscape is very special: Alex Simu’s music organically blends in with the moving rocks, buzzing mosquitoes and other, more obscure sounds’ (NRC on the film Beyond Sleep)

‘In the end composition is key, and Arifa’s compositions, most of which mere written by Alex Simu, are breathtakingly beautiful’ (Mixedworldmusic).
