“The decay of the late, great country of South Africa is beginning to become apparent. The name of the Transvaal has been officially changed to 'Gauteng.' (One of our friends has suggested that in view of this its inhabitants in the future should be referred to as Oranggautengs.) ...

He is one of the few composers who can put slapstick and primal emotion alongside each other. He allows you to witness new wonders in the sounds around you by approaching them from a completely new angle. With a third ear maybe.” MovingFallSoundEmotionWonderEarsThirdsWitSensualityWitnessCategoriesComposerAnglePrimalSlapstick Author:Michael Ondaatje
