Selected Quotes:
"The three women's voices are unreal, gliding together in an alien harmony, trilling and tapping their throats to achieve a warbling effect. Singing in this ancient avian language, transposed for human ears, BITOI evokes a folkloric sound as timeless as it is utterly unfamiliar." - The Wire (UK)
“A genuinely soul-cleansing performance.” - Crack Magazine (UK)
“With their blend of ethereal vocals, bass, and electronics, BITOI (Bass Is
the Original Instrument) conjures a sound that feels both ancient yet
completely new, marrying operatic grandiosity with intimacy and
warmth.” - Bandcamp (US)
“Overall, Bitoi is a free-thinking and wide-open musical project that impresses with its intimate and atmospheric expressions”. - Lira (SE)
“BITOI is, in the end, the story of a prodigious metamorphosis: of women who became birds, and of a man who transformed into a bass string”. - L’indiependente (IT)
“However, with BITOI we never feel threatened or unsettled; on the contrary, we are warmly received by the friendliness they display on stage, even if there is also a sense of strangeness—and it is precisely within that vertigo that processes of discovery take place”. - Rimas e Batidas (PT)
