about

Multi-Percussionist who combines a wide variety of world instruments and found sounds in an inspiring and unique blend.

"Popping the album into a disc-player reveals something startling. River is a master of percussion and a collector of found sounds. The first song is gold with about eighteen arms and this long twang. Then there’s one near the middle that goes gurgle, and these nuns or something start singing. These songs will make you drift off and think about stuff, owing largely to this dreamy quality thing that’s going on in the album. Then, you feel like you’re being ushered off up to one of those rotating sky restaurants. And then when you get there, River Guerguerian is waiting; he’s reserved his favorite table. And you and me and River Guerguerian and my grandmother all sit at the table and eat our simple food, drink the wine, and laugh until the tears stream down our faces."

- Lawrence Brenner, Asheville Disclaimer

“Guerguerian’s composition, sensationally performed, devoted itself even more religiously to the possibilities of pure sound.”

—The New York Times
