„[…] Beautiful. Two delicate pieces of highly atmospheric music […] Some eleven minutes is the total time of this record, and that’s way too short. Each side could have lasted longer, and I would have enjoyed it all the same, so maybe doing an album with more of this concert (or, if appropriate, from this period) would be most welcome."

"[...] Seven pieces cloaked in dense and dark atmospheres [...] gorgeous atmospheres to unfold, wrapped in infinite loops. Ypsmael skilfully weaves the creation of evocative soundscapes as haunting as they are poignant."

Loop Music Magazine (Chile), 2024
„[...] Ypsmael stops short of producing old-fashioned “noise”, and remains true to exploring the grains and textures of his materials; it’s that genius in the build-up [...] I think he has the potential to create a very distinctive language of his own. Promising."

„[...] The studio as an instrument, cooking up surrealistic pieces of music. Throughout, there is a solid musical thread in these pieces, which makes it less electro-acoustic improvisations and more something, well, for the lack of a better word, musical. [...] Smaely P knows what he’s doing.
A very refined album."

„An opulent, raw, almost physical piece, a tour de force, a confrontation [...] just like the powerful soundscape, in constant motion. [...] A sound composition that creates powerful images of two worlds [...].’"

Bad Alchemy Magazin, 2024
„[…] It has that somewhat more improvised feeling of musique concrète approaches but lacks the refinement to make it that kind of thing. [...] I prefer the rough ‘n tumble of this over, as things can’t always be all too refined."

Eloine + Ypsmael
„[...] Electroacoustic music, veering towards the noise end of things while maintaining clarity in sounds, which is a rare thing. They hit, scratch and scrape but keep their music together all along, i.e. it sounds less improvised, which I enjoy very much. The music reminds me of AMM, Morphogenesis, Kapotte Muziek and Kontakta."

Vital Weekly, 2023
„[...] The beautiful yet unprecious recording and the bounty of friction throughout Lost Teeth bring to mind a compact, super-portable Nuova Consonanza. Oh, yes they do. The homemade instrument, the field recording, the non-musical object, and the musical instrument manipulated outside the bounds of tradition propriety serve the needs of these two freedom-lickers [...]"
