(...) Few
listeners will be able to resist wanting to hear a work such as
Sundance Sequence, inspired by the escape some years ago of two pigs,
nicknamed by the press as ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’, who
fled from a slaughterhouse near London. They were ‘on the run’ for
about a week and when finally captured their lives were spared.
Tinoco
has written a fascinating musical sequence on this story. (Robert Matthew-Walker, Musical Opinion)

(…)
Ends Meet for marimba and string quartet, was notable for its
delicate, minimalist textures and controlled energy, and almost
Schoenberg-like melodic lines. Jane Dawson, The Dominion, Wellington, New Zealand
(…)
I rather liked the whispered intensities of Ends Meet for string
Quartet and marimba. The composer wanted the idea of
circles of material creating continuous flowing, so that one got the
impression of encountering the music already in motion rather than
listening to a beginning. A lot of the music was sotto voce, punctuated
by occasional sforzandi and swells of volume which die away as
quickly. Passages of great scampering barely-contained excitement,
alternating with eerie, step-wise progressions, the often skeletal
sonorities of the string quartet offset by the other-worldly resonance
of the marimba. The players, conducted by Hamish McKeich, realised the
peculiar, withdrawn beauties of the music brilliantly (incidentally, a
world premiere performance). Peter Mechen, Mechen’s New Zealand Music Page, New Zealand
(…) Ouviu-se
ainda Ends Meet (de 2002), de Luís Tinoco, uma obra "sem princípio"
(como se já tivesse começado antes de começar), comunicativa, com um
ritmo intenso e uma frescura irresistível. Pedro Boléo – O Público
