Reviews
"The Infinite Energy of Ada Lovelace’ Is Infinitely Charming..Sankaram’s deliciously tonal score is loaded with poise and charm that feigns minimalism to suggest binary math, but wanders through some intriguing stylistic territory that has flavors and textures of jazz, blues, classical, and 19th century romanticism, among others."
