Jazz / Electronica, Neo-Classical, Ethnic Fusion, Minimalism, Experimental
Recorded January 1986
Stephan Micus voice, sho, nay, shakuhachi, Bavarian zither, hammered dulcimer
Ocean is a set of acoustic ambient performances from Stephan Micus. He uses exotic instruments and techniques that give this disc electronic timbre. He combines hammered dulcimers, sho, a shakuhachi, a ney, zithers, and vocals in a swirling sound design that absolutely shimmers. The natural sonorities of these devices create vast atmospheres with organic timbres. The soundscapes penetrate and enhance brainwave activity. This great CD will appeal to fans of Robert Rich, Klaus Wiese, and Riley Lee. ~ Jim Brenholts, All Music Guide
Stephan Micus
Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jan 19, 1953 in Stuttgart, Germany
Genre: Nuage
Styles: Ambient, Ethnic Fusion, Experimental, Minimalism, Neo-Classical
The respected German composer and multi-instrumentalist Stephan Micus made his first journey to the Orient at the age of 16. He has since traveled around the world. He spent extensive periods of time studying ancient musical techniques in India and Japan and collected a number of ethnic instruments previously unknown in the West. His recordings for the ECM label are essentially solo efforts in which the illusion of an ensemble is created by the composer's extensive overdubs. Micus' intention is not to play these instruments according to tradition, but to combine modes of expression from around the world in exciting new ways. Though he sometimes creates sounds you'd swear were the result of electronic keyboards, Micus is an acoustic purist who often develops unconventional performance techniques on ethnic instruments. He released Garden of Mirrors in mid-2000, with Desert Poems and Koan both following a year later. Micus continued to stay busy, releasing Towards the Wind in 2002, Life in 2004, and On the Wing in 2006, all of which kept his multicultural and multi-instrumental style intact.
