"Maya has integrated her cello and voice, multiple additional cellists, chorus, percussion, ambient sounds and manipulation of acoustic sounds (including voices) to create a unique listening experience that is both strange and strangely compelling—beguiling, if you will. [...] Kudos to Maya for her bravery and vision in creating this album. Congratulations to all involved for this excellent result. I recommend the album to all who are willing to undertake some challenging musical exploration."
Rush Paul, Positive Feedback
"Fridman combines an earthy, passionate stroke with an angelic high-pitched voice. [... She] brings this dare to a breathtaking end, a tightrope walker on a lonely high. Once she has reached the other side, there is little choice but to put the album back on, and marvel at her spellbinding highs."
René van Peer, Gonzo (Circus)
"What a haunting and brilliant recording! Maya is an amazing composer and performer, with a unique presence. If you can take the power of her work here, then she will repay repeated listening sessions."
David W. Robinson, Positive Feedback
"Maya Fridman’s debut of original music unapologetically rips a hole in the spacetime continuum and aims for your heart and soul not shying away from drama and grand emotions. Many themes and hooks sound familiar but emerge reforged from a crucible powered by unbridled passion and exceptional mastery of the cello."
