“Rebecca has captured the skill of subtlety. Her music was at times almost imperceptible, but still just enough to raise or emphasise the mood.”
- Gordon The Optom, on Playthings |
"Rebecca Riggs-Bennett fills in the gaps to
build and sustain an atmosphere of dread, melancholy and agitation. It complements the performances quite beautifully" - The AU Review, on Blueprint |
