Northeast Performer magazine - April 2006.

Circus of the Shattered Monkey @ the Grog, Newburyport, MA.

Sean Altrui, while not what you would call "typical" by any stretch of the imagination, grabs hold and won't let go. By far the shortest set, Altrui played unique and haunting songs. Accompanied only by a keyboard and drum, Altrui's sound can be described best as "new age," and although the melody itself is repetitive and droning, it is in no way boring or uninteresting. The beating of the drum and the atonal sounds emanating from the keyboard lull the listener into a calmed and dreamlike state. Although more "sound" than music, Altrui's performance draws the listeners in and stay with them long after the show has ended.
