“It is an album with a freshness and originality that grabbed hold of me after just a few bars†Roald Helgheim, Dagsavisen
“A promising debut record where Seim plays with a sound that ranges from pure classical to rough, with glowing intensity in fascinating, extended melodic linesâ€
Terje Mosnes, Dagbladet
“This is a surprising and beautiful album, and Seim is a musician who claims a solid place in the landscape of modern jazz†Jan Granlie, Jazznytt
"Seim plays free jazz, but at the same time has close connections to other styles. She is obviously a melodic player at heart, who has the courage and desire to explore free and open musical spaces." Tor Hammerø, Nettavisen/TV2
“The music is constantly transforming through shifting colours, strange dialogues and explosive, tight themes.†Erling Wicklund, NRK
“The original compositions are turned and twisted in all directions and the album is constantly exciting to listen to (…) very fun and playful, not to mention cool†Hans Christian Hyrve, Utropia

From the album’s liner notes by pianist Marilyn Crispell:
“The compositions and the playing on this CD are wonderful. I felt like I was being taken on a journey. Sometimes I had impressions of New Orleans, the Caribbean, Arabia, northern tundras, and even Mongolia.(…)It's a beautiful and impressive CD. Thanks, Gunhild!â€
