“The accompanying piano and three saxophones sound like a much more varied ensemble; they, along with the computer-generated backup chorus that emanates from the tablets on the tables, give the whole piece an insistent bass beat and murmuring background that contribute to the overall feeling of foreboding….an absorbing, frightening
whole.”
-Heid Waleson, The Wall Street Journal
“Sankaram’s score is an eclectic mélange of jazz, techno, R&B, and hip-hop. The beats, melodies, and colors she creates are fun and infectious… Together Sankaram and Handel create a superbly paced story and a three-dimensional world that moves far beyond shallow criticism and caricature.”
