�Listening to Anthony Paul De Ritis�s Devolution is somewhat akin to watching a Tarsem film: The mixture of influences, references and textures is both blindingly apparent and blindingly gorgeous.�
�Olivia Giovetti, wqxr.org
�a genuinely American composer� [De Ritis’s] music lies rooted in its determination to meld science with humanity.�
�Laurence Vittes,�Gramophone
�Just the premise is utterly astonishing: a live turntable jockey with a vast array of mixing, digital processing devices and effects at his disposal plays with a live symphony orchestra.�
�Daniel Coombs,�Audiophile Audition
�Devolution is a musical evocation of the tactile malleability of music itself�
�Matthew Guerrieri, for�New Music Box��Sounds Heard�
