“Layering spoken interviews about the experience of disability with pulsing minimalist fugues, Perspective is a powerful work of love and empathy that underscores the poison of ableism in American culture…She points her listeners toward a radically simple, if not entirely foregone conclusion: the idea that each person, regardless of their bodily differences, deserves to build their own comfortable and dignified life.”

“Molly Joyce is among of the most versatile, prolific and intriguing composers working under the vast new-music dome…If there’s such a thing as a spirit of entrance, Joyce’s music is suffused with it: It offers everyone a way in. And for young artists with disabilities seeking to define virtuosity on their own terms, it offers a path forward.”

“In a 2017 TEDx Talk, Joyce described how composing on this instrument allowed for a creative process that could move beyond the binary of ability and disability. Proof of her breakthrough is abundant throughout ‘Breaking and Entering; the musician’s debut full-length solo album…All those affections can be heard on the album’s opening track, ‘Body and Being,’ in which sustained chords, MIDI tones and her dream-pop vocals work together to produce an airy, liberating sensation.”
