"To be honest I was so absorbed in the music by this point that I'd stopped taking notes, happy to immerse myself in the richness of the quartet's sound and the multiple twists and turns of the writing" the JazzMann, UK

"A very rightly highly praised quartet ... OUr world desperately needs a few wake-up calls, both musically and otherwise" hr2 Kultur, DE

"One of the most exciting jazz bands in Switzerland ... This is European jazz of the top class." Tagblatt, CH

older reviews: 

"This Swiss harpist looks the times we live in straight in the eye. Her music dramatically expresses the anguish that stirs within us and the healing solutions to which she aspires." Telerama, FR

"She is one of the rare harpists who have made a place for themselves in the world of Jazz. Julie Campiche, composer and inspired instrumentalist, subtly intertwines electronic effects with acoustic sound to create somber yet luminous lyrical worlds." Canard Enchaîné, FR

"Onkalo represents an impressive musical statement from Campiche and her well balanced and highly talented quartet. (…) Campiche is a composer of vision and ambition and these pieces impress with the broadness of their scope and their effective use of colour, texture and dynamics." The Jazz Mann, UK

"More subtle, yet equally impressive, Swiss harpist Julie Campiche’s UK debut revealed a unique voice both in her electronically processed instrument and the style of her playing." Jazzwise Magazine, concert review Cheltenham Jazz Festival, UK

"A singular voice, Camiche is carving out her own path and her development will merit watching." All About Jazz, concert review 12 Points Festival, UK

"Die Schweizerin Julie Campiche ist eine Meisterin an der Harfe." Süddeutsche Zeitung, DE

"Die Schweizer Harfenistin Julie Campiche spielt mit den Extremen, um ihre Wirkung zu erhöhen. Die vier Instrumentalisten formen ihre Werke wie Skulpturen, lehnen sich an den ECM-Sound an, ohne ihn zu kopieren, und interagieren dreist und mutig mit der Stille. Dabei stehen Freigeister wie Tom Waits, CocoRosie, Portishead, Keith Jarrett, Joe Henry und Arvo Pärt Pate. (...) Ein wunderbarer Prototyp für üppigen Minimalismus." Jazzthing, DE

"vermag einen erstaunlichen Sog und Groove zu entwickeln."Jazz’n’More, Konzertbericht Schaffhouser Jazz Festival, CH

"La tension est extrême, et le disque sur un fil. On en ressort secoué mais certain de ne jamais avoir quitté la lumière" Citizen Jazz, FR

"En live, c’est un envoûtement" Télérama, FR
