The improvised spirit is full of force for Jason Kao Hwang, who skitters around the minor acoustic sounds with “Soliloquies.” Just the violin – nothing else. His sonic universe strips things down beyond the normal, into tiny gestures. Quite lively, he avoids anything that could be considered conventional, opting instead for a more spontaneous, vibrant journey. On the avant-garde side of things, he expresses himself in ways reminiscent of the early pioneers of classical improvisation, letting other things define the music beyond the typical, conventional approach… “Soliloquies” features truly inspired passages by Jason Kao Hwang. He amplifies the details often lost in translation, giving his violin a voice for pure poetry and unbridled expressiveness. – Skopemag
