"Between the pages and songs that comprise this story, we follow the path of an erratic protagonist that wanders the streets of an urban labyrinth developing emotional bonds with virtual entities. In the illustrations, their face is constantly shrouded by veils and masks, walking the city streets protected by the armor of anonymity. In the songs, his voice channels raw emotion in spine-chilling primal screams, with electronic beats that convey a sense of speed and chaos. A mysterious figure, escaping the voices of his monstrous past self while trying to find a new identity. The story is not limited to the urban setting, the protagonist also wanders through the avenues of cyberspace where, through multiple chat windows, they manage to develop an emotional connection with an unknown user. There lies the dramatic core of the piece: the complications of creating a meaningful bond with a virtual presence, of getting emotionally attached to an algorithm and using that to rethink the value of virtual vs physical reality, as well as the concept of identity vs anonymity"--La Lista WWW site viewed 13 February 2024
