“The recurring theme in Van der Aa is identity: of human beings, sounds, instruments, musicians, music communities.”

“And so Spaces of Blank becomes, by playing with the outward show of the opposite, everything that a ‘normal’ song cycle is not.”

“As ‘beautiful’ as it is, the music is clearly the product of an imagination that far surpasses the purely musical.”
