This album came to life through a collaboration initiated by cellist/ vocalist Maya Fridman, who invited Lulu Wang and myself to explore the I Ching (The Book of Changes) through poetry and music.

“The music and the performance are both so appropriate to the various elements that are represented on the album. All it left for me to do was the close my eyes and enjoy. Highly recommended!”
Benjamin Yap
“This is particularly spiritual music, with really only one drawback: we don't get to see the ladies play. Because certainly Fridman, as I remarked earlier, you have to see her play. But let me not whine and be glad that this beautiful composition appeared on TRPTK, because what a perfect recording this is! The fact that only the very best suffices for this record company pays off here in two ways.”
Ben Taffijn, Nieuwe Noten
“I include this album, first, because it is beautiful music, lovingly, and expertly performed. [...] There is a beauty and flow to Marion’s compositions that are deeply engaging, hypnotic, and mind-bendingly lovely.”
Rush Paul, NativeDSD
“By now, it should be clear that the release is noteworthy for the originality of its concept and the quality of its content. Words and music come together powerfully in this special work, making for one of the most compelling and imaginative releases in recent memory, and the superior musicianship exhibited by Fridman and von Tilzer throughout recommends it alone. It's probably safe to say that nothing quite like it has been released before.”
Ron Schepper, Textura
“There’s an elusive, almost magical quality to this music that makes lengthy analysis superfluous. The two musicians respond to each other with exquisite sensitivity. Grounded in their intuitive responses to subtle currents stirred by the I Ching, the album’s careful and deliberate progression over a 45-minute total running time makes it especially suitable for late-night contemplative listening.”
