- “This is our best-sounding album. So many textures. Beautifully produced. It is definitely a headphone album but it sounds great on speakers too. Fiona’s parts are perfect. 8a1 is a beautiful bass/violin duet, with the tinny acoustic constantly butting in, demanding attention. I thought 8a1might not fit with the rest of the album because it doesn’t contain any of the main motifs, but it’s a low and slow variation on the “p1 theme” the way p10 is a double-time, “compressed” variation on the p1 theme. I didn’t realize you wrote all these variations on themes until I listened to the mixed album. Better that I didn’t or I would have had a more obvious musical reaction to it. This is a sophisticated album – New Age with an edge!”
