Binary Canary: iterative systems (Carrier)
"epic... alien soundscapes from some distant otherworld... enigmatic and well worth probing."
--Brad Cohan, Jazz Times
Twin Cities New Music Festival Gives A Nod to Challenging and Calming Works
"Kagel's music proved gripping in the interpretation of harpist Amy Nam and multisaxophonist Jeffery Kyle Hutchins."
--Rob Hubbard, Star Tribune
Images: American Sonatas Review
"From the outset one is struck by Hutchins’s formidable technique. His driving, direct approach to the music is supported by extremely clear, rapid-fire articulation; precise rhythm and finger technique; and largely excellent intonation. He handles the altissimo effortlessly and has an enviable uniformity of tone."
--James Kalyn, The Saxophone Symposium
Expanding the Boundraise of Instrumental Music
"The show, a culmination of a decade’s worth of collaboration, expands the boundaries of instrumental music. "
--Mylien Lai, The Spectrum
Saxophones, soundscapes and slap tongues, oh my!
"moments of magic"
--Gavin Nicoson, Augustana Observer
Album Review: Kyle Hutchins and Seth Andrew Davis- Coaxial
"Hutchins builds on the lineage of saxophone innovators including Pharoah Sanders, Evan Parker and Roscoe Mitchell."
--Bill Brownlee, Plastic Sax
Three Important New Titles From The Carrier Label
"part of electroacoustic improv’s well-hewn dynasty... Moore and Hutchins demonstrate great facility in wrenching some semblance of 'order' out of chaos... much aural pleasure can be had."
--Darren Bergstein, Downtown Music Gallery
New October Releases
"far out (in space, of mind)... something of future legend... a sonic trip."
--Tone Shift
Evan Smith: The Range of the Saxophonist
"good version of the last movement of the Feld sonata by Jeffery Kyle Hutchins"
--Omar Willey, Seattle Star
New Music Gathering 2020

--Seth Rozanoff, Computer Music Journal
Crawl: 3Play
"An impressive achievement, both artistically and technically."
--Jay Gabler, VitaMN
Binary Canary and Guest Improvisers on bc+1
"Skilled improvisers, no doubt about it… That bc+1 could make room for so much sound, so much chaos, all arising in the moment of improvisation, and yet also yield such vivid contradictions and concordances is its biggest success."
--Colin Holter, I Care If You Listen
Impressions of Quartet Volume 1 by Seth Andrew Davis, Kyle Hutchins, Aaron Osborne, and Evan Verploegh
"Quartet Vol. I is a joy to listen to, for any fan of experimental jazz, noise, industrial, or even sludge. It surrounds and envelopes you, and brings you into its word where the instruments speak. All playing is impressive, expressive, and immersive."
--Audrey, Issues Magazine
Album Review: Seth Andrew Davis, Kyle Hutchins, Aaron Osborne, And Evan Verploegh - Quartet, Vol. 1
"Jazz-oriented listeners are likely to gravitate to the contributions of Hutchins. His Dolphy-esque playing provides an analog counterpoint to industrial grating on “Of Other Mirrors,” the glitchy futurism of “Under a Strange Legend” and the somber malevolence of “So Many Stars Take Care of Me.” Viva la revolución!"
--Bill Brownlee, Plastic Sax
Love, relationships and community: Emily Lau, Big Mouth Society and 'The Common Opus'
"impressive, ambitious projects that are of the moment in a fresh way."
--Charles Rose, Oregon Artswatch
Concert Review: Kyle Hutchins, Aaron Osborne, Seth Davis and Evan Verploegh at Charlotte Street Foundation
"two sets of sinister improvised music"
--Bill Brownlee, Plastic Sax
Impressions of Banana Split by Binary Canary & Corder/Hamilton/Weeks
"The musicians are undoubtedly brave and surely are having a good time. There are some truly sublime moments."
--Hel Martinez, Issues Magazine
This is Maximalist: The Cube @ Virginia Tech
"Music in the Cube was unlike anything I have ever heard before."
--Alexander Pestopoulos, Engineers' Forum, cover story
Binary Canary 'iterative systems' (Carrier Records, 2019)
"Kyle Hutchins' saxophone is a link between acoustics and electronics, masterfully developed and organically created. A talented, experienced improviser using his own playing style and expressive mood... really interesting to listen to this album."
--Avant Scena
Graded On A Curve: New In Stores for October 2019, Part Two
"a decidedly avant-garde excursion... fans of “classic” European and newer electroacoustic improv should take note. A-"
--Joseph Neff, The Vinyl District
Alumni Profile: 113 Composers Collective
"creating a community for new music enthusiasts"
--Katie Dohman, Tutti Magazine
Twin Cities' 113 Composers Collective creates opportunities for experimental music makers
"there exists an expansive community of tried and true experimentalists who are working every day to challenge and redefine what it means to compose and perform classical music."
--Garrett Tiedemann, Classical MPR
Cassette Review: Binary Canary 'click/blow'
"a full on noise-jazz symphony... there really is no good reason for not having this in your collection and coming out of your speakers regularly."
--Joshua Macala, Raised by Gypsies
Sax Moot: Album Review, "click/blow" by Binary Canary
"Hutchins and Moore display their individual virtuosity, and group musicianship to create a cohesive product. 'click/blow' is well worth the listen."
--Alexander Richards, Signals for Images
AVIDduo CD Review
"Captivating… plenty of inspiration here."
--Tammy Evans Yonce, The Flute View Magazine
Zusammenfluss in Minnesota
"Hutchins' March 6 program entitled 'Sonder' which stands apart in memory as one of the most technically challenging saxophone recitals I have ever witnessed... 'Sonder' was a brazen display of virtuosity and endurance spanning nearly two hours of music and spoken text. It was impeccably prepared and conceptually unified."
