“None of the sounds heard in Edison Studio's "live computer soundtrack" belongs to our common perceptions and this fits perfectly with the sound radicalism of a group of musicians operating in the 21st century, thus bypassing the philological problem and that of illustration. [...] an interpretation, capable of going beyond the pseudo-genres of the false music / noise dualism to capture a new audio-visual essence.” (Sergio Miceli - Accademia Chigiana di Siena, in Edison Studio. Il silent film, l'elettronica in relazione intermediale, AA. VV, 2015)

“The phenomena of association between the world of electronic music and cinema have almost always seen an automatic application, assigning predefined functions and meanings. The operation carried out by the Edison Studio seems to be aimed at exactly the opposite objectives [...] Electronics represent the possibility of exploring new frontiers of signification by superimposing sound images. [...] The work of the Edison Studio operates a patient action of surprise, each time procured by noise synchronization, only allusive elaborations, or real substitutions of sound events, which deceive the spectator from time to time and make the narration of the events absolutely personal.” (Marco Russo - Università degli Studi Trento, in Edison Studio. Il silent film, l’elettronica in relazione intermediale, AA. VV, 2015)
