"An album with a broader purpose that conveys its egalitarian, inclusive message with discretion, confidence and superb musicianship".

"This overly orthodox classical-electronic crossover only occasionally captures the spirit of natural and cosmic forces".

"Music's ability to convey a lasting image of the harmonious relationship between technology and organic orchestration is crucial in cultivating the story told across The Unfolding. A collaboration between Northern Irish composer Hannah Peel and the Paraorchestra, the progressive Bristol-based body that unites disabled and non-disabled musicians together. An important component to the Paraorchestra's practice is melding analogue, digital, and assistive instruments. The results, as heard across these eight ambitious compositions, are completely spellbinding".

"Peel's eight-part work is a sonic adventure, where familiar orchestral sounds meet digital, vocal and otherwordly textures. It's a great achievement for Charles Hazlewood's ParaOrchestra and a thrilling exploration of what's possible when sounds and music meet".
