Editorial Reviews
The Montreal Voice
"As an original member of Club Foot Orchestra, Trance Mission and Clarinet Thing... Custer's works have given shape to this woman's driving force 'just to do music'. Custer's compositions are atmosperically lucid and challenging without over-intellectualizing..."
