Reviews:
“Erin Rogers’ brand-new Fast Love (2018) let loose the composer’s penchant for humorous ideas filtered through elaborate noise-based means. Its section titles are borrowed from love-titled pop songs, but the sounds Even made — only some on her baritone saxophone — were almost primal in character. Klunk’s rubber-headed stick dragged across a drum head created an equally odd sound.”
