"Stagioni is a symphonic ode to life and nature. Four seasons of beauty, rituals and eternity. It's a crossover piece that takes you from ancient composers, like Hildegard von Bingen, to the hypnotizing rhythms of minimal music, taking in Vivaldi, blues and explosive rock elements. I use a loop station and effect pedals that enables me to play polyphonic on my own, and next to the beautiful sound of the E-cello, I can demonstrate a wide range of varieties in sound and orchestration, all built up live on stage." - Mayke

Wynold Verweij

"With this, Rademakers immediately presents her calling card: playful, free-spirited, poetic, curious, technically gifted and musical to the bone. Her electronic support consists mainly of loops and effects (pedals), but the electric cello is the instrument around which everything revolves. Her instrument is a Yamaha SV 110 made of maple and spruce with a small acoustic sound box that allows her to add her own personality to polyphonic crossovers."

American Record Guide

"Each selection has two parts. Primavera opens with `Devozione’, where a pizzicato pitch is repeated steadily for 6 minutes, serving as the foundation for 2 or 3 sinuous, improvised melodies. The second part, `Seduzione’, has the same basic set-up, but the looped material is more rhythmic and includes deep bass pitches. And so it goes through this program. While all are repetitive, none are boring; all include beautiful sounds, change often, and become quite complex."
