“We have sound-houses, where we practice and demonstrate all sounds, and their generation.
We have harmonies which you have not,
of quarter-sounds, and lesser slides of sounds.
Diverse instruments of music likewise to you unknown,
some sweeter than any you have;
and some that give back the voice louder than it came;
some shriller, and some deeper…”
— excerpt from New Atlantis, Francis Bacon (1626)

Reviews
“Miako Klein und Jia Lim haben mit ihrem Album etwas Fantastisches geschaffen, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes.”
“Miako Klein and Jia Lim have created something fantastic with their album - in the truest sense of the word”
- ORF Ö1, Zeit-Ton, M. Schnedl
“By the album’s close, Nova Atlantis has transformed from program into proposition. It suggests that antiquity is not behind us but circulating through us and that technology is not future-facing but time-folding. Thus, Klein and Lim let the Baroque mutate and think with wires, past and future blending in a single, restless sea.”
- Sequenza21, T. Grillo
