Reviews
“Thomas DeLio is, indeed, scholar and artist in one. His installations are experimental set-ups in psychoacoustics, his compositions and essays are about how sound, chosen with the utmost care, controls an aural experience.“ - Hermann Sabbe, Professor Emeritus of Musicology, State University, Ghent, and Université Libre, Brussels, Belgium
