	"William Price's tasty little "Three Short Pieces for Tape #3 [Spline]"...is a good example of variety, unity and economy that some of the other composers on this compilation would do well to pay attention to..." - Diffusion: Sonic Arts Network, review of "Sonic Circuits X" CD _________ "...William Price's "Three Short Pieces for Tape #3", also apparently called "Spline", ... makes one wonder what John Zorn's Godard tribute might have sounded like if he'd had C-Sound and ProTools back in 1985." - Paris Transatlantic Magazine, review of "Sonic Circuits X" CD __________ "....William Price's "Prayer for the Forgotten," performed by the Red Stick Saxophone Quartet, offers harmonies that are warm and solemn... Then the piece moves gradually into more unsettled territory, which sounds striking after the chorale-like beginnings. ...also represented by "Sans Titre II," ...the piece is a nine-minute [saxophone] solo, it remains intriguing. Price's lines are melodic, pretty, but agitated." - Sequenza 21 Contemporary Music Weekly __________ "...'Remembrance' is a lovely, mournful meditation" - Style Weekly, review of "Masks"
