“Mueller’s minimalist percussion raises hypnotic palettes of solid color. He merges the human touch with the objects that he vibrates, pops, scrapes, or taps.” – Mark Corroto, All About Jazz

“Mueller goes straight to the core of drums’ pneumonic organism, avoiding easy edulcoration to privilege spacing systems and sustained transmutations, where snare drums become turbocharged in an itinerant mass of resonant charms and the deep rumble of a sapiently treated (?) bass drum (???) skin transforms itself into a hoarse monster of droning majesty reigning in deafening volume.” – Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes

“Mueller has found a way to go beyond his free jazz past and take the world of instrumental virtuosity into the 21st century.” – Dan Warburton, Paristransatlantic.com
