Kulturnews: “Cipa’s experiment is no coincidence, the Munich composer has worked with jazz, electro and improvisation in the past, always expanding his classical horizon towards pop. ‘Ourselves, as we are’ has nevertheless become a classical piano album: very elegant, pensive, almost meditative, and yet always creating images that embrace you in a well-tempered way. Quiet, but never boring.”Musikexpress, 5 stars: “Between neo-classical and ambient, the Munich pianist finds the ‘radical quietness’…. Cipa plays the piano so quietly in places that the sounds and ambient noises come together on a hierarchical level… Which shows that this music is precisely not created in an idealized metaverse, but in a world where ambient noises are – well – part of the good tone.”

plattentests.de 8/10 : “The album is certainly not suitable for enjoyment on the side, but wants to be perceived, experienced and explored with all the senses. One can lose oneself in it excellently, and thus Carlos Cipa may have achieved exactly what he had in mind when composing it.”
