“An amazing spectacle” The Daily Telegraph

“a precise piece of theatre” The Herald ***** Herald Angel Winner at Edinburgh Fringe 07

“your own journey through a thrumming, choral soundscape that alters with every step you take”

“Bees buzzed, church bells chimed and the rumoured harmonies of cosmic spheres lapped round my meanderings. But who knows what others heard as they drifted past the oscillating "voices", or lapsed into meditative stillness against walls where reflections of the speeding lights traced lines, like night-streams of traffic on nameless autobahns.” The Herald *****

“an unusual treat, a feast of the unexpected”

“The lights go down and in the darkness the tiny red beacons on the ends of each swivelling bar flit through the air like so many bright red fire-flies. It is utterly hypnotic and so marvellous to hear cascades of chiming bells, an ethereal choir, fanfares and oboes and bagpipes and concertinas and anything you can personally imagine created solely from sound pulses. The sound is at one and the same time melodious and dissonant, rhythmic and anarchic, soothing and liberating.” British Theatre Guide

“a remarkable work that possesses sculptural, performative, and musical dimensions.” ArtIntelligence.net

“Both impressive and faintly eerie by turn, this is a performance which manages to transform the cold austerity of the baths into a magnificent sonic cathedral and proves to be an excellent close to the festival.” www.bbc.co.uk

“A choir of rotating sirens, their individually strident voices congealing into a thick mutating chord that trapped listeners in its sticky flux” The Wire

“I could have sat for hours hypnotised by the final crystal chord of the spinning oscillators” Live Art Magazine
