	Splendid E-zine reviews: Amy Denio
		Amy Denio’s Greatest Hits catalogs her impressive artistic career to date, including outstanding stints in such notable groups as the Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet, the Tone Dogs and the Pale Nudes.
		Denio crusades through an experimental mindset with the help of such instruments as the alto sax, accordion, bass and her own tender voice.
		Denio’s distinctive compositions are rich in variety as well as remarkably unique, clearly benefitting from her ability to manipulate a variety of sounds.

	tonevendor.com :. Amy Denio - Tattoo CD
		This soundtrack by Amy Denio, one of the more ubiquitous talents on the downtown New York scene, will shock and surprise those fans of her previously released music.
		While it's true that this may be due to the fact that it was composed for a choreographed work, it is nonetheless a Denio composition encompassing the construction noise outside her studio, her voice, accordion, guitar, bass, water slapping, dancers' footsteps, and field recordings (of found sound).
		Denio plays the role of composer here just as soulfully as she performs her own work.

	Unit Circle Rekkids: Amy Denio - Greatest Hits
		Denio's lyrics occasionally reveal a feminist orientation ("Birthing Chair Blues"), and she is capable of mordant observations about politics and the human condition, somewhat in the style of Laurie Anderson.
		Denio is adept and inventive as a singer and on each of her instruments; this is a testament to her core understanding of how to fully invest herself in the music at hand.
		Amy explains, "To spoot is to encourage empathy and active listening in all walks of life." Amy Denio is not for everybody, but for those who enjoy jazz influenced work or are interested in pushing the boundaries of their musical library, this CD may be well worth your time.

	Unit Circle Rekkids: Amy Denio
		Amy Denio first made a name for herself as a "serious" composer of contemporary classical music.
		Then, for almost a decade, she was a member of the Seattle-based Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet, an all-female ensemble named after a woman who posed as a man to be able to work in the male-dominated jazz world of the 1930's and '40's.
		But just as the quartet was gaining a national reputation, Denio quit to pursue a solo career playing her own odd style of folk-rock, in which she plays saxophone, accordion, bass, and a bunch of other instruments.

	CSIndy: Access Denio (November 18 - November 24, 1999)
		Denio's 19 solo and group recordings range from lush rock tapestries with supernal voicings to multilingual ethnic rave-ups to texturally clamorous meanderings to free-thinking jazz compositions and everything in between.
		In fact, Tudor's nearby log cabin is the birthplace of Denio's concept of "spoot," which also serves as the name of her publishing company and tiny record label.
		The youth appeal of Denio's music was incidental, but her intention to explore the playful side of sound, singing and performance was not.

		Amy's no longer a member of the Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet, but you can always count on her to be out there, pushing that musical edge.
		I think Amy's greatest gift is her ability to fuse so many different styles, but I personally didn't find her as good as some of the originals that seemed to influence her.

		The band is comprised of four members: Amy Denio, from the West Coast of the United States, and Pavel Fajt, Csaba Hajnóczy, and Gabi Kenderesi, all of Eastern Europe.
		Seattle, Washington resident Amy Denio is well-known in the international avant garde as a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist.
		Denio as a vocalist is notable for the versatility of her range and the uninhibited nature of her expression, characteristics that loosely link her with such other contemporary female singers as Iva Bittova and Diamanda Galas.

	Derek Bailey, Amy Denio & Dennis Palmer: The Gospel Record: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		On The Gospel Record, he joins American composer/vocalist Amy Denio (Science Group, EC Nudes, Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet) and synth/sampler improviser Dennis Palmer for a short set of old-time gospel-- as in, the kind featured on Smithsonian anthologies or Coen brothers movies-- and in the process, exposes music ripe for the interpretive plucking.
		Denio's vocals are clear as day, sounding very much like the star of modest country church, and the trio keeps the original harmonies intact.
		During the refrain, Denio goes into the stratosphere with her vocals, singing in an unnaturally high register; she ends the song on a high note too, and the reverb from her vocal acts as the song's momentary fade-out.

	MISCMEDIA.COM: Amy Denio's Playful Noise
		Amy Denio simply calls it "Spoot," referring to one particular effect in her repertoire of sounds.
		While Denio's never had any industry-official "hits," she's been recording since 1987 for assorted indie labels on two continents, under a vast assortment of band names.
		Despite the vast array of instrumentations, dates, and personnel (some tracks are Denio multi-track solos, on one she's only a backup vocalist), the whole thing fits together beautifully.

		Internationally acclaimed vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and jazz artist Amy Denio has produced an impressive catalogue of music during her long and distinguished career.
		Denio's music is an eclectic and unique synthesis of elements of jazz, folk, European traditional music, pop, funk and avant rock.
		Her sound is so distinctive, varied, and difficult to categorize that Denio had to invent an entirely new word, "Spoot," in order to describe it.

		Self-taught, committed, feminist and always on the move, it is now twenty years since this multi-instrumentalist from Seattle started carting her “spoot music” around enthusiastically to the four corners of the world.
		During this concert —where the public will be encouraged not to stay silent -, the musician will offer her works for voices and electronics as well as her compositions for voices and accordions in which she uses extensive vocal techniques to play with harmonics.

		The performance, it appears, is a joint venture between Denio and local clarinetist FranÃ§ois Houle, the sole member of the sextet sheâs met, and at that only briefly.
		And although these musicians are all skilled free improvisers, as Denio is, this time around theyâre going to be focusing on her songs.
		Balkan music has long been an inspiration for Denio, and Balkan art will soon factor into her work: the next Tiptons project is a suite of tunes inspired by band member Jessica Lurieâs Croatian husband, illustrator Danijel Zezelj.

	Public Eyesore Records - Catalog - pit89
		Like on that stunning recent William Hooker CD Complexity #2, it sounds like he's not in the band at all until the 37-minute mark, when all of a sudden there he is wailing through massive distortion like a one-man Mahavishnu Orchestra, sounding like he'd been there along, and he probably had been.
		On this Amy Denio CDR, I can't pick him out for sure until around the 20-minute mark, but he may actually be one of those very rare musicians who knows that even if you're just sitting still and silently listening for 20 (or 37) minutes without playing your instrument, you're certainly still expressing yourself.
		After all, Denio wrote this thing, described as "music for Yoko Murao's dance piece." She plays accordion and lays down an awesome Oliveros-worthy wall of sublimely funereal drone that barely changes throughout.

		While 'belle confusion 00' uses Denio's voice as the basic sound material, López and Denio have built a haunted grey drone from the complex harmonics of a human voice that never utters anything except its own somatic textures.
		Their collaboration begins with a mirage-like sound of undefinable yet delicate fluctuations, then a silence followed by a slow tectonic rumble of similar sounds to the first interlude but much less friendly, and then another silence.
		Amy Denio and Francisco López are devoted sound explorers with extended roots in (and deep commitment to) the underground experimental community.

		Les Voix Vulgaires--their moniker alludes to the once trendy Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares--is a trio of three masterfully hilarious singers: Amy Denio, Detonator Beth, and King Leah.
		Denio, the best known of the three, has a multi-octave voice that can veer from glowering rumbles to siren squeaks in a trice.
		The voices of Amy Denio, Detonator Beth, and King Leah are indeed vulgar, warping astonishing vocal techniques into demented performance art.

		"Still Trying" is recuperation, a slow pretty jazz ballad, at least until Amy starts trying out as many different goofily melodramatic deliveries of the phrase "to light the fire" as she can (then Cora enters with a free-jazz gypsy cello over agile drums).
		They clearly liked the job, and I can only assume they left because they needed a universe that could provide an Amy Denio to sing their songs.
		It's a fine reason, and a lucky one, since the commercial prospects of their and her project, MERE COINCIDENCE (available from CDNow and other big-shot realtors), would hardly have justified the funding of its creation over here.
