Sounds Like: "...all jumbled up into a slubby electronic ball and
pushed along with sticks. seems like the base material
was probably assembled as much as it was
played per se, but who are we to judge?"

THE WIRE

"....silence is hardly an option for him. his collages
reminded me a bit of the good ol’ Brume work.
constant shifting the sounds backwards, forward, upside
and reversed, with voices swirling in and out. Very much
a work of musique concrete and electro-acoustics...."

F. DE WAARD / VITAL WEEKLY

"...[-hyph-] zappt durch die Kanäle und untermischt die
schnarrenden Drones mit verzerrten TV-Stimmen,
Schnipseln von Hardcore und Hip Hop. Zwischen geheimnisvoll
zischelndem Geflüster und gedehntem Gurgeln klimpern
verzerrte Pianoklänge, tschilpen Vögel. Höre ich da so seltsames
wie „Rückwärts geht das Schweigen schneller“? Nur 19:22, aber
vollgesaugt mit einem Zauber, der über das Verstummen
hinaus anhält....."

R.DITTMANN / BAD ALCHEMY

"Musique numérique, procédés électroacoustiques, la
recette et le mode opératoire sont sensiblement les mêmes.
Le rajout de sonorités acoustiques non retraitées et
reconnaissables apporte cependant un aspect plus organique.
Nicolas Wiese affectionne les variations brutales entre silence
et volume sonore intense. Il faut être sur ses gardes, car le
pilote est un peu brusque parfois! Abstraites, étranges et
composées de fragments divers, les compositions sont
parfois lourdes et oppressantes. Du grand art pour un
performer autant à l’aise dans les manipulations analogiques
que numériques.
[.....]
Nicolas Wiese semble posséder une vision à 360° et assume
très clairement ses prises de risque."
