🌊 “The music holds deep sentimentality and tenderness, in what is a very beautiful tribute to her late mother… Kirsten captures the mood so perfectly, you can almost hear the seagulls in the distance. The album is delightfully unrushed, with the aimless exploration of plucked notes and arpeggios that you might expect on a holiday or, for those of us stuck grudgingly at work, a montage to play memories of happier days.” [Aquamarine]– Classical Crossover
🌊 “The twinkling harp of the gorgeous title track opens the listen with incredible attention to detail and much warmth, and “I Am Water” follows with a poetic intimacy that’s soft and agile via Agresta-Copely’s elegant vision."

🌊 "Kirsten’s Aquamarine is... a spirit caressing, free-flowing straight through immersion from the hypnotic, gently strummed ambient title track through the spacious and haunting, chamber-tinged Into the Mist, which conveys a profound sense of wonder and mystery ~ and by extension, gratitude."
