Quotes about Courtis:
“…one of the most active musical minds around” THE WIRE (UK)
“ a composer with an insatiable thirst for experimentation and different forms of expression” TOKAFI (Germany)
“a true mastermind of noisescapes and sonic abstractions” IEM Magazine (Russia)
“Courtis has produced brillant work with the relative primitive tools at his disposal” THE WIRE (UK)
“Objet de convoitise outre-manche, la masse sonore ou le bruit sous tout formes, est également un marque de fabrique d’Anla Courtis. Ce disque est tout simplement formidable“ REVUE ET CORRIGÉE (France)
“Already a renowned experimental music collaborator, The Torrid places Argentina ’s Alan Courtis in the company of some of the world’s most reputable noisemakers” ROCK-A-ROLLA (UK)
„This guy has one of the most prolific catalogues of any musician living or dead“ THE BEIJINGER (China)
”…one of the best pieces of music I’ve heard all year. Absolutely stunning. 9/10– FOXY DIGITALIS (USA)
COURTIS/MOORE “Brokebox Juke” ( No-Fi , UK ) was included in THE WIRE Top 50 Records 2009.
ANLA COURTIS “TRIBUTE TO CALCIUM” Tonschacht. 7” . „Sprung from the bowels of Reynols, guitarist Anla Courtis has produced an incredible melange of guitar,toba violin and tape music called Tribute to Calcium. The sounds roll on like ducks down a cement mountain.Squeedles of upper register amp noise curl along the edge of clouds on one side, the other is more low-down – like elephants on the killing floor. It’s a really great record, and probably the manifestation of a new sort of guitar sound ”Bryon Colley.THE WIRE.June 2005
„COURTIS/MARHAUG “North & South Neutrino” CD. Antifrost (afro2021) The Antifrost label has put out some of the most challenging records of recent times…“ Keith Moline. THE WIRE. May 2004
„Good sturdy experimental music, just the way it should be.”
Frans de Waard VITAL WEEKLY ( Netherlands ) #413
