"It was not with re-countable narration, but rather with wordless pictures from voice and tones, atmospheric sound-pictures with an intense presence, and an inspired, direct beauty that the composer persuaded the jury in Paris. Mouthpiece IX was chosen with a wide margin as the prize-winning piece by approximately 40 jurors." --ORF Highlights (Austrian Broadcasting Corp.)

"Erin Gee's music defies a simple description. Often an impression of ephemeral, fragile poetry is formed from the gossamer quality of the work, which continually aspires to plumb the possibilities of the human voice, while also serving as the inspirational source for contemplating new instrumental sounds." --Martin Gasser in Stimme ohne Worte
