Dave Zabriskie: Reviews

“The Zabriskie [Sauros: Music for Solo Cello, Strings and Percussion] is wonderfully imaginative, with the percussion used to particularly good effect. The writing is strong and fresh, with an abundance of content, and the performance was consistently effective.”

“Conventionally structured with three movements and comfortably assessable to the listener, this 27-minute, tonally centered octet [Starret Lake] is nevertheless full of modern ideas that are developed and interwoven with considerable originality and skill…it rivets the attention and catches the emotions.”

“Zabriskie knows what he wants to say and has the technical know-how to express it. He is a composer well worth watching.”

“The music [from the game ‘Car Hop’] is very good, evoking the classic rock and roll feel of the 50’s”

“A musical pinball wizard”

“Zabriskie’s serenading slots have proved popular in Atlantic City and Las Vegas.”
