"Slowly the name Marc Behrens becomes a household name. Via releases on
Trente Oiseaux, Digital Narcis, Intransitive and Edition...,Behrens can be
placed amongst the more serious underground composers, along with Bernard
Gunther, Francisco Lopez, Roel Meelkop or MNortham. From these people
Behrens is the one that puts many references on the cover on what he did (a
total opposition to people like Lopez (with exceptions) and Meelkop),
describing when, where and how things were composed. This new CD is the end
result of his composition 'Intergration' which Behrens performed seven times
in various forms. In the original form there were just sounds of trees,but
throughout playing this live various other sound sources were added and the
piece changed. For the CD he uses the tree recordings plus some sounds from
the urban environment. To know it is a nice extra, but not more. Behrens
creates loops of his sounds, sometimes stretches the sound and puts them via
collage forms together. Other then Lopez or Gunther, who produce long
stretched out pieces which seem non-sequential, Behrens produces repeating
events before shifting in the same piece to a new event. However it's quite
strong (and mind you, more audible, except for 'Intergration Of Silence',
which is indeed very silent) electro-acoustic computer music, atmospheric,
intense and evocative."

"One of the great things about projects by Behrens is that they all seem to
have such rich histories, and you can usually count on him to describe in
detail the various stages his compositions have undergone. Integração is
comprised of six pieces, each with a diverse and shifting sound palette. His
sources are sometimes recognizable and concrete, sometimes stretched and
sometimes compressed, transformed by his processing tools. They are woven to
create some incredibly captivating structures. Consider the immaculate
silences of "integration of silence" for example; I become so drawn into
this piece that it has me on the edge of my seat, ready to fall headfirst
into that void of silence and near-silence. A hollow wind, a fine, delicate
crackling, shuffling concrete sounds, electronic pops and layers of sound in
turns thin and dense, close and distant, are what constitute these
phenomenal and complex sound structures. Highly recommended."
[Richard di Santo, Incursion Music 044]
 

"Integração (integration) is like an audio theater piece filled with layers
of common sounds and sparse silences - you will notice yourself moving
closer to the sound system.Ý M. Behrens has developed intensely intricate,
and at times, claustrophobic works of eerie brilliance.Ý His work on the Mac
is blended with "performance" sounds of Italian forests, collectively
pairing our natural and digital worlds.Ý This piece took one year to piece
together, informed by trips to Slovenia, Germany, Italy, Spain and England.Ý
It is best experienced with ones eyes closed."Ý
