Chung Yufeng’s album of pipa compositions is the culmination of ten years of cross-border collaborations. In this critically-acclaimed album, Chung Yufeng carves out a new creative space for the pipa, a four-stringed lute commonly associated with classical Han Chinese culture.  Yufeng’s compositions serve as the blueprint upon which each piece is woven together in unique temporal and spatial contexts by a diverse group of musicians. The pendulum of this collaboration with musicians from Germany, India, Hungary, Indonesia, and Sweden swings back and forth through the worlds of the traditional and the contemporary. This album was awarded the 2018 Golden Indie Music Awards for “Best Musician” and “Best Non-Mainstream Genre Album,” reached number 3 in the monthly World Music Charts Europe and was selected for the annual World Music Charts Europe Top 20.
