About the album

After performing works by the greatest contemporary composers of the 20th and 21st century, Maya Fridman will release another kind of debut, an album featuring her own music. Dark, ambient-like dissonant drones, angelic voices, acoustic and electric cello; The Power of Indifference is a truly unique album by a truly unique artist.

Artists

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)

Throughout The Power Of Indifference we hear the influences from TRPTK’s previous offerings. Middle Eastern melodic undertones, amazing cello playing, sense of drama, but all delivered in an arguably more accessible package. There is also heavier use of electric instruments and electronic effects, but it is not overdone to the point of irritating. [...] An unquestionable 5 star effort. Highly recommended to download in the highest resolution your equipment can resolve.

Johan Coorg

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. [...] Powerful, moving, evocative, addictive, and making one yearn for more.

Jacques Vandepitte

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

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.
