Praise for The Redundancy of the Angelic: An Interluding Play
“Clearly an ambitious undertaking, Heflin hasn’t overreached; to the contrary, the precision of the assemblage results in a gripping and occasionally humorous listen” (The Vinyl District)
“one of the most adaptable releases of the year to date” (Robert Ham, Voice of Energy)
“I immediately want to hear more from Heflin. She paints a world that is both beautiful and ugly, knowing that one cannot exist without the other.” (Justin Spicer, Cerberus)
“a spine-chilling beauty” (Echoes and Dust)
Heflin’s Debut Album The Redundancy of the Angelic: An Interluding Play is out now on Infrequent Seams. Purchase the album here.
Praise For “The Wonderland Series” In Rochester City Newspaper
“Far from anything resembling a standard violin recital, the show is a dense, 33-minute fever dream in which music is fully integrated in a one-woman play that investigates numerous facets of author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson’s life and his work under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. As narrator, Reilly examines the intellectual ideas found in Lewis’s fiction and engages in historical criticism of Dodgson as an individual. Heflin’s music for the violin is at times simple and enigmatic, and at other times abrasive and viscerally expressive. “The Wonderland Series” is an incredible watch, and is designed well for the virtual medium.” — Daniel J. Kushner
