"Little Cataclysms brought writing for the piano trio well up to date... Laing is obviously an intelligent, effective composer. He displayed in this world premiere a high level of solid, calm, modern expressionism and the ability to create simple, simply beautiful and fresh ways for the piano trio voice to touch us deeply."

"Quirkily humorous, (Pantomime) is essentially a dark tale, musically rendered in a carefully constructed interweaving of motifs... (the work) followed a disturbing but ingenious musical trajectory." 
- Classic Melbourne 

"Laing has a deft sense of movement; his work is fit for choreography, for bodies shifting in space, and this work (Destructive Interference), which was as much about the silence he wrote as the notes, was no exception."
