Daniel Barbiero reviewed Meerenai Shim's Pheromone in the Avant Music News:
"Pheromone, the third solo recording by San Francisco-area new music flutist Meerenai Shim, is a fine collection of new electroacoustic works, all but one of which were commissioned for this recording. The six compositions encompass their composers’ individual approaches to integrating the flute with electronics of various types, and reflect Shim’s own genre-challenging, eclectic engagement with new music."
Flutist Amanda Cook reviewed Meerenai Shim's Pheromone in I CARE IF YOU LISTEN.
"Virtuosic Versatility"
Here's an excerpt:
"...Pheromone stands in a class of its own. This album’s dedication to all electro-acoustic compositions definitively breaks from traditional repertoire and instrumentation, unapologetically plays to Shim’s strengths, and highlights her incredible versatility as a contemporary artist."
Meerenai Shim's Pheromone will be released on November 13, 2015. Until then, we have a video of Pencilled Wings composed by Emma O'Halloran (Pheromone, Track 3) for your viewing/listening pleasure.
