REVIEWS.
"[...] MAGAMultumult’s chamber, electro-acoustic music embraces the folk music of the Balkan but ornaments it with strong veins of traditional and classical folk music from the Middle East and the East and modern-day sounds and samples that add to the music an untimely aroma. The minimalist atmosphere is lyrical and introspective and uses the resonating spacious acoustic of the Gothic church to intensify its contemplative-meditative spirit."
