“Full of lush ideas and a kind of fierce grandeur, it unfolded with subtle, driving power — a work worth hearing again.” –Stephen Brookes, The Washington Post

“I don’t believe in a kind of monolithic new music. The biggest underlying trait of contemporary music is its plurality. A new music group should reflect that and I think that, so far, GNE has been successful in doing so.” –Armando Bayolo, Interviewed by DCist.com

Armando is interviewed on NPR’s Studio 360 about musical experiences that changed his life: Star Wars and Andreissen’s De Materie. Listen to the clip here.
