PRESS QUOTES & REVIEWS
"Rising Star: Composer taking center stage" by Andrea L. Zrimsek,
North Journal cover story, December 9, 2004 [read
full article]
"Driving, syncopated rhythms with an impressive electronic
accompaniment make Steve Kornicki's new work, Xylo Motion, a
great recital piece for the college student or professional. A
two-mallet tour de force, Xylo Motion will challenge the player
but not the audience, who will enjoy the sounds and energy that
it creates." -Tom Siwe, Editor - Media Press Inc. [order
score]
"Just like the prismatic cover art, the latest CD from LA-based
Steve Kornicki -
Forever
Journey - is filled with a colorful
spectrum of instrumental guitar sounds. A mixture of live
performance guitar, smooth jazz and Euro-flavored new age topped
off with the strong rhythmic beat of world music, the 72-minute
Forever Journey can be described as Pat Metheny jamming with
Weather Report. A great sounding album for instrumental guitar
aficionados, the album features stellar performances by Kornicki
on electric and acoustic nylon guitars, fretless bass, baritone
guitar, flute and keyboards and fine percussion work from
Steve's brother
Kevin
Kornicki." - Robert Silverstein - 20th
Century Guitar June 2003
