Review of Four Eggs


Through its subtle use of ambient sounds, Four Eggs transports listeners straight into a village in northern Azerbaijan to exotic, and even intimate, effect.

Seidl's narration has a pleasant, unpolished, and earnest tone which pulls you further into the piece, and the content of the narrative is packed with intriguing information.

There were a couple moments where I thought the background sounds muddied the narrative mildly, but it should not dissuade anyone from enjoying such an original piece.
