Reviews
A full-blooded yarn of gore and glitter.
Listener
Alter captures much that is great about India… its exquisite, almost infinitely subtle music.

Silk and Steel, like its predecessor, is beautifully composed and extremely entertaining… His ability to evoke locations stands out as the most visible, if not the most formidable aspect of his burgeoning talent… Alter’s sense of place and his language take quiet but certain command over all.
