Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 3½ stars stating "This music is not jazz -- free or otherwise -- nor is it merely classical formalism or improvisation deconstruction. Instead, Parker's compositions are scored with the idea of bringing together, through his very European outlook, the different ways region, distance, cultural difference, and discipline combine to make something else: a new work that maintains an identity that is transcultural and trans-aesthetic".[2]

gollark: It wouldn't need language changes. Just a community-agreed-upon set of libraries providing those useful utilities.
gollark: In Python.
gollark: Also, dependency management is pure evil.
gollark: Lua does have libraries, but they're not really as convenient as the quadrillion built-in Python ones. Though frankly many of the builtin ones are awful and you need external ones half the time.
gollark: I could probably replace much of my Python usage with Lua if there was a good set of libraries I could use for stuff like HTTP, filesystem access, Unicode string handling, string manipulation generally, and all the other random tasks I need.
