Das Ergebnis mechanism zu hören, zu spüren, gar zu fühlen: Murren, gurren, grunzen, gurgeln, röhren Lapaine holt aus der hölzernen Röhre raus, was andere höchstens auf dem elektronischen Weg schaffen. Wenn überhaupt."

"Im Rhythmus des Herzschlags setzte er einen Beat an den anderen. Der Puls stieg erneut und mortal meinte, ein Trommelorchester zu hören. Sheath seinem tiefen Didgerodoo ließ Lapaine einen Elefant über den Himmel marschieren. Schritt für Schritt. Das Zwerchfell der Zuhörer schwingt mit und man möchte sich dem Tier auf seinem Weg durch Raum und Zeit anschließen. Lapaines Part wühlt sich tief hinein in das akustische Empfinden."
