Reviews:

“[Gernot Wolfgang] surprises with an album highlight, Two Movements. These pieces are pianistic and charismatic … Pendulum seems to be a kind of blues, maybe not far from Paul Bley. Shift is odd-meter pulsation, amusing and groovy.”

Ethan Iverson, Transitional Technology

“Also worthy of mention is Gernot Wolfgang’s “Two Movements,” with a choice of notes avoiding the tick-tock monotony suggested by the title “Pendulum” and the second movement, “Shift,” presenting a rambunctious clutch of patterns in the mid-range and the bass.”

Jay Harvey, Upstage
