"Could not be timelier and more brilliantly performed.
Unremittingly edgy, American composer Bruce Babcock's
"Alternative Facts" captures, through pianistic devices of
virtuosic clarity and torturous rhythmic schizophrenia, American angst since Donald Trump's surprising ascension to the
presidency in 2016. Performed by Gloria Cheng, Babcock captures the nerve-shredding yin and yang of a democracy on the edge."
