“The electroacoustic works of Elsa Justel are striking for their rich morphological invention: canvases made of minuscule yet consistently varied sounds; stratified figures made of multiple simultaneous shots, intertwining with one another; tremblings turning into sharp and lightning objects; objects of all sizes, objects so diverse they relentlessly keep hold of your attention. […] This music imitates nothing; it is there, warm and savant, controlled yet free, vigorous and intelligent.” - Horacio Vaggione
