Review: COMPOSITOR E, VAULT Festival
by Cindy Marcolina - February 18, 2023
Although the script is generally articulate and well-written, there are a few passages that might need some TLC as they come off as rushed and remain unexplained.

Compositor E has the potential of becoming an exceptional piece about who actually makes history.
