"At his most experimental, pianist & composer Eli Wallace has sufficient preparations to obscure almost all the natural sounds of the piano. That has often been the case across a portfolio of half-a-dozen leader or co-leader releases, but Wallace's solo album Pieces & Interludes is a singular enigma. He utilizes drones, tones, and other extended techniques to create either a continuous, trance-like atmosphere or an impermeable barrier of noise. On Pieces and Interludes he incorporates a variety of musical elements, with only a slight nod to convention and an open embrace of experimental musical ideas."
