Kronen Zeitung: “And Víctor Morató, his slow-motion study of a reading process by Schmatz, as a perfect combination of sound and text, made it possible to visualise what lies hidden between the (notes) lines.”

Felix Jurecek, Kleine Zeitung: “Explosions of sound can be heard when three musicians of Klangforum Wien and bassist Philipp Kienberger play the piece “Zweimal” (Twice) by Victor Morató Ribera. According to the accompanying text, everything happens twice. But when does anything repeat itself? On this evening, the intellectual level often seems to touch the sensual.”
