“Clocking in at over seven minutes, Sarah Kirkland Snider ‘s “The Lotus Eaters” isn’t so much a music video as it is an epic undertaking… magnificent.”

“This is just the kind of thing we like to see at Synesthesia: a serious musician–in this case a composer–collaborating with fellow artists to achieve an intriguing interdisciplinary result. In my mind, this is reminiscent of the giant strides The Metropolitan Opera is making with its “Live in HD” series–essentially, making serious music more accessible to the masses by utilizing the modern mediums of video and the internet.”
