Stephan Micus: Inland Sea
by Geno Thackara
Like an actual inland sea, the Stephan Micus catalogue stands as a unique entity distinct from all its surroundings. Always too restless to rely on familiar sounds, he travels to find little-known instruments in far corners of the world and take time getting to know each one's voice. His 22nd ECM recording is centered mostly around ...

Stephan Micus: Nomad Songs
by Mario Calvitti
Il viaggio del polistrumentista tedesco Stephan Micus attraverso una geografia musicale immaginaria aggiunge un'altra tappa al suo già notevole cammino, testimoniato da una discografia che in 40 anni ha raggiunto i 23 titoli, quasi tutti pubblicati da ECM. I canti nomadi del titolo descrivono il complesso della sua opera, risultato di tanti anni di vagabondaggio attraverso ...
Stephan Micus: Nomad Songs
by John Kelman
For his 21st ECM recording (his first six originally released on the label's sister imprint Japo but subsequently reissued on ECM), multi-instrumentalist and intrepid musical explorer Stephan Micus simplifies...well, relatively speaking...to the sparer instrumental settings of earlier recordings like The Music of Stones (1989), East of the Night (1985) and Till the End of Time (1978). ...
Stephan Micus: Nomad Songs
by Mark Sullivan
Multi-instrumentalist Stephan Micus has lived in a sound world of his own for many years. World Music usually means borrowing from disparate musical cultures and combining them. But Micus creates World Music for a world of his own creation. He adopts traditional instruments from all over the planet, then combines them in original compositions without referencing ...

SoCorpo: Inelement
by Eyal Hareuveni
The sophomore release of New York-based SoCorpo--the vocal duo of Sasha Bogdanowitsch and Sabrina Lastman, who released their self-produced On Becoming in 2009--is a conceptual work, drawing its inspiration from the ancient world's five essential elements: fire, water, air, earth and aether, or void. This conceptual set of compositions, all of which were written as an ...
Stephan Micus: Panagia
by AAJ Italy Staff
> La nuova tappa del percorso etnomusicale intrapreso tanti anni fa dal polistrumentista tedesco Stephan Micus presenta un carattere molto più spirituale del solito, nonostante l'aspetto mistico-religioso sia da sempre una delle componenti imprescindibili della sua arte. Il suo più recente lavoro infatti è concepito come una preghiera alla Vergine Maria (la parola greca Panagia rappresenta ...
Stephan Micus: Panagia
by John Kelman
Almost like clockwork since 1983 (though he began his association with the label, on its subsidiary JAPO label, in 1977 with Implosions), multi-instrumentalist Stephan Micus has been delivering albums to ECM every one-to-three years. His modus operandi is largely the same: continue to scour the world for rarely exposed ethnic instruments and use them in contexts ...
