-”It is a beautiful celebration of the human spirit, with an astounding original score by Paulo Gallo that's so deeply interwoven with the emotions of the movements, it feels almost organic and corporeal; like music you can see, feel and touch – not just hear.
At times the strings express and evoke anxiety. Toke gasps for breath, convulsing in rhythm with the music; the chords describe cortisol coursing through veins, blood pounding through a tormented heart, nerves stretched to snapping like a violin's taught strings. -”
