    It’s an expression of what we should all do with our trauma, which is open up, share, and react to each other with the greatest of support. And that is so unbelievably beautiful, we’re left at the end with a single phrase. Thanks, Keaton. Thanks.

    An intense and dizzying work. [Jan 2020, p.26]

    The effect of the short chunks of music is somewhat minimalist, but Henson doesn't stop there. He has arranged performances of the work where audiences are wired up to devices that measure their emotional responses. The whole idea definitely gets points for ambition, although that aspect is lost in this performance by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

    A challenging but far from inaccessible work. [Jan 2020, p.91]
