“Christopher Adler is a rare example of a Western musician and composer who has immersed himself deeply in the music of a certain part of the world – in his case, Southeast Asia – with the objective not only of researching this culture and mastering its music tradition, but also in order to bring new ideas to Western-style composition…. The lush, poly-tonal harmonic landscapes of overlapping chordal fields, the rhythmic evocations of Gamelan, the sounds of bells, gongs, but also of orchestral strings, and the superimposition of various melodic styles all make for a very unusual, inspiring listen and demonstrate that it is quite possible to come up with innovative and original music today, while not sacrificing visceral appeal.”
— Lukas Ligeti for Tzadik Records
