“Kurzmann[’s] commanding and inventive use of an electronics-based language charges Made to Break’s interplay with a built-in dimension of tension, surprise, and danger. He interferes, expands, and challenges ideas about melody, linear structure, sonic cohesion, and pulse.”
Eyal Hareuveni, The Free Jazz Collective
