“More festivals, in idyllic destinations or not, should explicitly be this way: a declaration and a creative act, in which a lot of different kinds of musical and literary sensibilities, low-key or oblique or confrontational, barely out of the egg or middle-aged and experienced, can be made memorable by juxtaposition and setting.”
—Ben Ratliff, NY Times
“Basilica Soundscape didn’t just feel like an aesthetic victory. The efforts of the Basilica team are one of many necessary measures that need to be taken when real-estate prices affect the cultural health of a city. Everyone has their 1991 Montreal or their 1982 New York or their 2005 Los Angeles, when things were cheap and messy and possible. Right now, Basilica Soundscape feels like that, and it’s a joy.”
—Sasha Frere Jones, The New Yorker
