Performance Reviews, etc

"Peebles opens up an astonishing sound-space in which natural and synthesized elements coexist in such a way that they become indistinguishable from each other.... It is intense, slow, focused, neither natural nor unnatural, full of delicious singularities..."     - The Wire      (Marcus Boon on "Insect Groove" CD)

"A shimmering score".     - The New York Times      (with Ritsuko Tsumaki, dance, "Voice of the Water")

"Computer-generated water and bird sounds combined with the shô and temple bell performance to create a music unto iteself."     - NHK Television News      ("Transforming Temple" concert, Shukôji temple, Kawasaki, Japan)

"Surreal meditation on the relationship between humans and nature."     - The Globe and Mail      ("Strange Nature" performances, Village of Yorkville Park, Fringe Festival of Dance, Toronto)

"Extremely moving modern/traditional music."     - Traditional Music and Dance (Hôgaku to Buyô)      ("Sound of Eternity" concert, Studio Kinshicho, Tokyo)

"One of the most exciting, well-attended and well-received events that we have done in many years."     - Art Gallery of Ontario      (Cinnamon Sphere)

"The thing that struck me right away about Sarah's work is the freshness, the delicacy of the approach."     - Jim Montgomery, Director, The Music Gallery      (Media Television, City TV)

"Peebles answers with her samples, electroswooshes and phasing tricks that send sounds to different corners. This is beautifully rendered electroacoustic music, as the natural tones are manipulated sensitively, and the sound and image emerge from the same conditions. This constitutes the most unique and fascinating show we saw all year."     - Eye Weekly, Toronto      (Cinnamon Sphere with Jin Hi Kim, The Music Gallery)
