" Popping the disc into a disc-player reveals something startling. River is
a master of percussion and a collector of found sounds. The first song
is gold with about eighteen arms and this long twang. Then theres
one near the middle that goes gurgle, and these nuns or something start
singing. These songs will make you drift off and think about stuff, owing
largely to this dreamy quality thing thats going on in the album.
Then, you feel like youre being ushered off up to one of those rotating
sky restaurants. And then when you get there, River Guerguerian is waiting;
hes reserved his favorite table. And you and me and River Guerguerian
and my grandmother all sit at the table and eat our simple food, drink
the wine, and laugh until the tears stream down our faces."

TRANCE is extremely beautiful.
The music and the playing are so honest, unpretentious and just plain
gorgeous. Thanks for making the CD. I will listen to it often.

"As a producer who has recorded two CDs of harmonic chant with the Gyuto Monks of Tibet, I know how hard it is to capture the energy of resonant sound. River Guerguerian has done a superb job delivering the vibrant overtones of the Tibetan Singing Bowls without sacrificing the mystery of their deep resonance. This is more than a meditation; it’s like a wisdom teaching in sound."

“The Unraveling is an enthralling new CD showcasing some of the nicest acoustic world world beat blends coming out of the many aromatic sonic flavors of Eastern and Middle Eastern origin. Grab this perfectly balanced mixture of jazz, ethnic, chamber music and a dash of funkiness. I can’t live without it. An absolute stunner”

"For music that is beautiful, complex, diverse and played by masters of their instruments, look no further than the trio of Chris Rosser, River Guerguerian and Eliot Wadopian. Collectively they're a world fusion trio called Free Planet Radio and the sum of the whole is pretty powerful, especially considering the strength of the parts."
