“For Hinrichsen,
paradox is a way of knowing. He enacts this philosophical stance
in the quick yet attentive movement of his lines…Hinrichsen’s
unhinged singing lets momentum have its way. Yet we are moved
in the old sense-by empathy.” - Christine Hume, on Message
To Be Spoken into the Left Ear of God
