Opinion

Skipping from 1990 to 1993. We have one of the few workshop performance (Which are not attributed Performance numbers in resources that list them), to have it's full score archived as a soundtrack.
A lot of shifts have occured by between King Lear and this performance. Internation performance have slowed down, there seems to be retention in production quality, towards a demo-like sound.
Which mostly arose for financial reasons, and I do have to mention that previous to this year, J.A. Seazer composed the Midori soundtrack. Which sound similar to this album and the new version
or Chronicle of the Plague Year; And his involvement in that could been a factor towards the suspension of grants. The more charitable intrepretation is that like a lot of underground artist,
J.A. was content to use the gear he can afford and retain, it was not neccessary for him to hold onto the relatively glossy productions of his 80s to early 90s works

As for music, because it's a workshop performance, and particularly one that was collaborating with Akihiro Yonaiyama, who lead a theatre company catered to deaf actors. The music was very
experimental, in other words, it a very weird sounding album. Instrumentally, the accopaniment and instrumentals lean toward shriller, percussive or thermein like sounds. A lot of vocal tracks
lean towards repeated ostinatos. As opposed to flowing, stanza based through composed style that people would generally associate with J.A. Seazer after this album. This isn't always the case
As the album a lot grittier passages, leveraging very twangy FM synthesis patches that would not sound out of place in a Mega Drive game, or industrial of times. Thought this use of FM synthesis
as crutch to compensate for the lack of power that sequenced, digital music tend to have. Would rear it's head in the next album
