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 ...

However, as the audience soon discovered, when this man begins to play something utterly remarkable ...
Stephan Micus - Sette giorni in Tibet
by AAJ Italy Staff
Basilica S. Vitale - Ravenna - 08.07.2012 Un concerto di Stephan Micus, al pari delle sue incisioni discografiche, rappresenta un'occasione per intraprendere un viaggio interiore alla ricerca della propria spiritualità facendosi trasportare dalla musica. La differenza principale sta nel fatto che dal vivo il musicista è da solo e non può ricorrere agli artifici di studio ...
John Surman: Saltash Bells
by John Kelman
There's no denying the “the sound of surprise" of group recordings; working solo, however, provides its own possibilities, despite meaning different things to different people. Pianist Keith Jarrett views it as a means for pulling form from the ether: one man, one piano, in real time. Multi-instrumentalist Stephan Micus, on the other hand, considers it a ...
Stephan Micus: Bold as Light
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il polistrumentista tedesco Stephan Micus è sicuramente uno degli artisti più unici e originali di tutto il catalogo ECM, con la sua personalissima musica fatta prevalentemente da suggestioni etniche che accompagnano l'ascoltatore in un viaggio interiore attraverso culture di tutto il mondo filtrate e rielaborate in un'ottica decisamente panfolkloristica. Ogni nuovo lavoro di Micus aggiunge un'ulteriore ...
