“daniele del monaco, joined by a stellar cast of musicians, has here manifest this long-form composition, the zone, functioning on many levels: as a lyrical work of philosophy, an expression of longing, a compendium of provocative definitions. its all wrapped up in a music of great currency: electronic, jazzy, noisy, rocking - a thrill in every direction.”

“years ago i wrote an ensemble piece called 'edible weeds'. your wonderful weeds became an orto botanico- a botanical garden. did i hear that “i heard the old man say wail” or was it "whale"? ...during this amazing space walk, where i stepped out of my capsule right into the music without any change of tempo.”
