"Time stands still in this sonic projection, inviting the listener to pause, maybe close their eyes, take a breath, and awaken into another moment. With its glistening minimalism and neoclassical undertones, the music is an invitation to slow down, especially if you’re a fan of contemplating the vastness of time, much like the surreal imagery that inspired its title." – Headphone Commute

"Landing somewhere in between the sounds of Nils Frahm and Drukqs-era Aphex Twin, Journey Test is simultaneously austere and hopeful." – Ted Davis, Bandcamp Daily ('Best Ambient')
"...a serene, texture-rich, cinematic voyage through mesmerising sonic environments." – Headphone Commute
"....unfolds like a sonic origami with elegant melodic shapes and tidy minimalist design...Eckerson introduces reverb, foley, and orchestral electronic arrangements to create lush, emotive textures which reach their pinnacle with the penultimate 'Pathway', a track which bears comparisons to a subdued Sigur Rós." – Stationary Travels
