have been waiting to hear someone like Dill who plays with the lure and percussive attack of flamenco and the atonal and abstract styles of
modern non-idiomatic improvisers. In Dill's playing, hybrid chords become indistinguishable from tone clusters and compas undetectable within
improvised rhythms....The world should be truly excited to be graced by such an exciting new guitarist - Tom Pratt - Signal To Noise, May/June 1999 (No. 11)
Dill's playing is very quick, fluent, and highly accomplished, at times generating some beautifully rich and powerful textures inspired by the high
drama of flamenco...stimulating - Geoff Cox - Classical Guitar (England), June 1998
Very much in the flamenco vein ...while displaying a sometimes delicate and sometimes turbulent style. Yet his emotional playing has all the elements of
what creative improvised music is all about...unquestionably an exceptional
performance - Cadence - April 1998 (Vol 24 No. 4)
While it's an oversimplification to describe these freeimprov/flamenco fusions as'Derek Bailey goes to Spain', Dill's evocative solo nylon stringpieces are an ear-stretching hybrid of Bailey's stark pointillism and traditional flamenco gestures....full of delicate dynamic shading and
poignant silences. Soulful and innovative - Joe Gore - Guitar Player, May
1998
The work of guitarist Stefan Dill is as daring as it is ambitious and satisfying...These are tensions which propel the music - beyond hearing, which is what it ultimately aspires to- is all to do with the delivering of not just sound, but of a pure experience - Loretta Summers - World Beat (England), no 6 (April/May 1998)
Eine mitreissende Tour durch eine andere Welt von Klangen und Inspirationen.Flamenco? Ja - aber einmal ganz anders! - Peter Maier - Gitarre Aktuell, I/98 (No. 60)
Solo guitar music that lies somewhere in the triangle between flamenco, ECM style improvisatory jazz, and aleatory/12 tone composition...very
original, and totally unique - Guillermo Juan Christie - Flamenco Connection
...haunting music in a language that floats on the threshold of the unconscious, congratulations! - Roberto Limon - Director, Centro Hispanoamericano de Guitarra, August 1996
