"In fact, his 2024 work “Quatuor à cordes no. 2” is the newest piece here—a bruising, viscous seesaw between hallucinatory swells and jagged tenseness." Peter Margasak / Bandcamp Best Contemporary Albums - January 2026 / Feb 5, 2026

"[...] Tougas propose son très récent Quatuor à cordes no 2 (2024), pour lequel il pose une toile de fond texturée où les gibbosités et autres aspérités sonores semblent apparaître et disparaître au gré de flots d’énergie mouvants, mais rarement menaçants. L’écriture de Tougas favorise la création de décors délicats et finement tracés." Frédéric Cardin / PanM360 / Déc. 2025

"[...] provider of enchanted movements and playful, explorative interactions which have single instruments perform intricate little dances around each other before occasionally speaking in unison or almost falling silent for a moment."  Nitestylez / Jan 2026

"Along next is the polyphonic sound of Louis-Michel Tougas’ Quatuor à cordes no.2, where the 14-minute work soon presents itself as a layered, dutifully expressive piece, both musically textured and at the same time melodiously stirringly. Allowing the work, as a whole, to organically come together, it graciously encourages recurring, distinctive element—like symbolic significances to flow freely to sustain it through to its culmination." Anne Carlini / Dec 2025
