This piece left me hanging a little bit. It wanted to be a personal look into a relationship and why it didn't work, but it was mostly an abstract of the relationship. It was working. Then it didn't. On again. Off. But never why or what happened. I don't need to peek into lives, but if you are going to put it on exhibition, that's information the listener wants. I like the central idea and the production method, that each is the one that got away to the other and by listening to the equivalent of found audio. But I felt like it was more a story pitch than it was a follow-through story.
