''Blending the sounds of multiple environments into a surrealistic sonic collage, Scottish sound artist Fletina's newest work is a slow burning album of two long-form pieces that bend perception in subtle ways.
On the one hand, these amalgamated environments feel real and tactile, like you have been there before and can remember the physical sensations of these places such as the sights, the sounds, and even the smells. But equally, they feel simulated, almost like some kind of malfunctioning experience machine that throws it all at you at once, leaving you feeling like you are nowhere and everywhere at the same time...
The two pieces together make for a fascinating exploration of environmental familiarity and the sensations it can invoke.'' - Fringes of Sound

''Eloquence within the droning blur. Details rising to the sonic surface like the silent flight of a hawk's graceful glide. The cacophony of so many tiny things could be in rhythm with pounding steps of thousands of ants marching to a food source. We do not hear. Sounds present themselves and dissolve with time's continual roll. Their amplitude, our hearing prowess, and the energy each of us give to the fractals of a highly evolved planet, is all we know in the moment. Fletina can help us hear, make awareness ratchet to a higher level. The Given Moment showcases dynamic energy present in all we know, but hidden by a world of responsibility and routine.'' - Lost In A Sea of Sound

''Two detailed and beautifully structured sound environments'' - Grey Clay Radio

''Murky soundscapes, capturing the howl of the wind/sea/city (see, it's that unclear), amassing like a big incoming thunder...these pieces definitely need your interest.'' - Vital Weekly

''Superb'' - Muhmur Radio
