"Deep Night, Deep Autumn is a bittersweet record, a record of muted colors and shadowed statements like snapshots of the desert at day's end, just after sunset. These are eidetic memories encapsulated in sounds, familiar yet haunting, somehow indescribable. Unlike so much music that pulls the listener through a narrative in linear time, composer and guitarist Roger Kleier has here created a work that draws the listener in a different direction: deeper and deeper. . ."

"Kleier's toolbox overflows with myriad ways to mutate a guitar, ranging from the hallowed techniques of Jimi Hendrix, Captain Beefheart, Hubert Sumlin, and Link Wray, through the extended techniques of the last 25 years of guitar–mangling, to the recent technological innovations of sampling, layering, digital sound processing, and random–access construction using ProTools. Many of the sounds are free of genre reference – their identity lies in their overtone structure, in the unpredictable transients, in the surprising decay. This multi–faceted approach does not exist merely to demonstrate a collection of tricks – these are compostions whose vocabulary and syntax are seamlessly intertwined. This is music for orchestra, no matter that many of the instruments of this orchestra started life as an electric guitar. The final result is a music with the sense of inevitablity that could not manifest in any other way than what is revealed to us on this CD. . ."
