*2022 stock* "Any resemblance between these pointillistic chamber compositions and Schoenberg is purely coincidental. Delicate as to texture, curiously dispassionate as to mood, these mostly notated woodwind, string, and piano chamber works are motivically atonal, but tend to collapse into tonal cadences just to show you they know where they are. Like Ornette Coleman, Mitchell's playing with the tension between center and periphery, but in a milder, more abstract idiom and from the other direction; Coleman still had the center as a given, Mitchell's trying to reconstitute it. His most enticing non-Art Ensemble release, this demands and repays careful listening." -- Kyle Gann, The Village Voice
