reviews
"Bedrosian's hidden treasures are twofold: first, he summons a rich, deep, almost instantly signature tone on everything he plays, enhancing difficult material with a clarity and warmth that goes easy on the ears; second, great care and patience is taken to develop melodies and classically-influenced chord progressions, and after the third listen to "Space Opera" and "Sand Castle," you discover that beneath the virtuosic surface of Aram Bedrosian lurks the heart of a budding composer."
-Bass Player Magazine
"In a world that has been so lucky to hear the innovations of Jaco Pastorius, Victor Wooten,and Les Claypool, the performances on this album are no less significant in their brilliant, technical radiance....Weighing in at only half an hour, Aram Bedrosian is a musical onslaught of beauty and ambition.... a significant work to be recognized not only in the Northeast, but throughout the world."
