Reviews

“"He has such a breadth of creative endeavors. We've got that more conventional piano sound, experimenting with the piano while also surrounded by analogue and digital tech gadgetry, as well as working in performance art and film. It's like narrative without words."

Sarah Gosling

BBC Radio 6

“I love it – just kind of dream like – snapshots of sounds and motifs going round like some kind of slightly unhinged music box.”

Elizabeth Alker, The Unclassified Show, BBC Radio 3

"...experimental effects are interwoven with the piano's sustained sequences. Spontaneously, the flight of albatrosses or a flock of petrels using thermals to glide over the ocean for days came to this reviewer's mind as he listened."

Ferdinand Dupuis-Panther

"It's the diversity which makes this arguably Dunlop's most intriguing album to date."

'Somewhere Nearby' Darren Rea, Classical Music Review

"Mac's compositional style is interpreted by some as 'transgressive' because it can drift between classical, jazz, ambient - even experimental improvisation. I would add that there is a romanticism too, a meditative convergence of minimalist rhythm and melody."

Dom Calpon, saxophonist/arranger
