Rebecca saunders without a doubt is one of the most important composers of our time. Meanwhile, after being busy with her music for some years, I see her personal style more and more clearly. A piece of her can be clearly recognized. They are every single one an outstanding experience, and "Skin" is no exception...

totally empty.

[@OAmus]

Utterly full - of amazing expressivity, mind-blowing sounds, fantastic use of tension. A masterwork, in my opinion.

I completely disagree.
