Aaron Ger­vais piece was just enter­tain­ing. He is the com­poser of the night for me. Such a funny piece, I cried tears of laughter.”

I’m a fan of Ger­vais’ light­hearted approach to new music—a field dom­i­nated by too many knit­ted brows.”

His music stub­bornly refuses to do what mod­ern clas­si­cal music is sup­posed to—not because he’s reac­tionary or defi­ant, but sim­ply because he would rather do things his own way.”

I laughed my head off last week when I watched the ‘Live Action Com­pos­ing Video’ Aaron Ger­vais has on his Myspace. It is so true to life. Most peo­ple think com­pos­ing music is some near reli­gious expe­ri­ence where the com­poser is car­ried away with the great emo­tion of their music. The real­ity is that it’s mostly sit­ting around eras­ing things.”

An artist in full com­mand of his tech­nique whose com­po­si­tions are most orig­i­nal and inven­tive, very sophis­ti­cated and intel­lec­tu­ally engaging.”
