“Catherine Lamb and Ghost Ensemble’s interius/exterius is a breathtaking collaboration that expands the boundaries of harmonic perception and immersive sound. … interius/exterius unfolds with patience, drawing the listener into an auditory space where subtle shifts in timbre and resonance take on profound emotional weight. … interius/exterius is not just an album—it’s an invitation to step inside a vast, resonant world of sound, where every listening reveals infinite layers of beauty.”
Don Haugen, Igloo Magazine
“interius/exterius Calls Forth Mystical Peace through Mathematical Precision … at once mathematical, scientific, magical and serene … the premiere recording of this fascinating, experimental new work is masterfully interpreted and executed by Ghost Ensemble. … a transcendent, macrocosmic perspective … from a point beyond the limits of perception.”
Christian Kriegeskotte, I Care If You Listen
“robust, engaging … a rare union of compositional brilliance and strength in execution.”
Joseph Neff, The Vinyl District
“Lamb's new piece, developed in close collaboration with Ghost Ensemble, a spectacular nonet … may be her most accessible music yet … drops of mysterious delight, like sweet nectar falling on your tongue from a tropical flower. The intrigue never lets up … superb recording.”
Jeremy Shatan, An Earful
“Ghost Ensemble is a go-to for adventurous music-making, and they take to Lamb’s with commitment and precision.”
Christian Carey, Dusted
“an act of perception, of discovery … reigning supreme between spaces of almost spiritual delicacy or syndromes of astonishment … creating layers and gradations of presence, performance modules that the musicians of Ghost Ensemble demonstrate on a genetic level.”
Ettore Garzia, Percorsi Musicali
“Gorgeous … the most arresting thing about Rewild is the way it challenges our perception of time … simply getting lost in the serene, slowly unfolding shapes articulated by the ensemble … lingering, unspooling and evading time while being flush with uncertainty … the confluence of the various elements alternately between dizzying, hypnotic, and ominous … suggesting an eternal process that we’ve just dropped into for 50 minutes.”
Peter Margasak, Bandcamp Daily: The Best Contemporary Classical Music on Bandcamp, October 2024
“Very fine ensemble playing — excellent listening to one another … cloudy, mysterious and dark … Beckettian in its slow spread … a group to keep an eye on.”
Brian Olewnick, Just Outside
“Beautifully performed and recorded … keeping you in the present … a body-felt sound mass … a multifaceted texture that evokes the primeval.”
Meg Wilhoite, Meg's New Music Blog
“Prodigious … considerable dramatic heft … a thrilling listen … well-crafted and eloquent.”
Christian Carey, Sequenza21
“Wonderful … serene, rippling waves … stirring, ominous surges of sound … both exhilarating and a bit scary … thrums, throbs, and glides with surging and ebbing density.”
Peter Margasak, Bandcamp Daily: The Best Contemporary Classical Albums of 2018
