Sound Event is a studio album by American turntablist Rob Swift. It was released on Tableturns on October 2, 2002.
Reception
Sam Chennault of Pitchfork Media gave Sound Event an 8.3 out of 10, noting that "[the] genius of this album is not only Rob Swift's skill, but also the restraint he shows in displaying his considerable talent."[2]
Laura Checkoway of Vibe said: "Instead of overwhelming listeners with robotic DJ overload, Sound Event artfully combines technical dexterity with simple rap lyrics, live instrumentals, and politically charged sound bites."[3]
Tom Semioli of AllMusic called it "an explosive and intelligent collection of wicked scratching, in-the-pocket beats, startling imagery, and whiz-kid wordplay."[1]
