"Some pieces are so beautiful that it hurts". – Stef Gijssels. "The Inner Life of Residue, in fact, is a musical example of how life freely evolves, thanks to the attention and collaborative interaction with others, transforming itself, reviving itself, giving rise to new realities.

"Profound and beautiful music.” - E. Hareuveni, AllAboutJazz 2013

Chagas – Jazz e Arredores, March 2009
