​”‘…and now for the news’ is the original spoken word piece for the modern age. By taking the rhythms and sonic aspects of a newscast in Vietnamese and making it into a sonic partner for a percussionist/improvisor Graeme Leak invites the performer to engage in a multi-lingual, multi-disicplinary, multi-perspective journey. It’s a wild ride! What a fabulous musical experience! Most recommended.”
– Steven Schick, Distinguished Professor of Music, University of California, San Diego

“Because of its freeness, I strongly recommend this piece to any percussionist, young or old, looking to develop some improvisation chops. This is a piece that will remain in your repertoire for years to come, allowing it to develop as you develop as a musician.”
– Cory Hills, independent percussionist and composer
