Stephan Micus - Twilight fields (1987) (Full booklet included) Download link: http://sharebee.com/e9f30b6e Filename: Twilight fields.rar Size: 77.01 MB

Info: Stephan Micus flowerpots, hammered dulcimer, Bavarian zither, shakuhachi, nay Twilight Fields is a set of smooth acoustic ambience from Stephan Micus, a master of the craft. He uses flutes, marimbas, xylophones, and ethnic percussion devices to generate this atmospheric experience. Each instrument has its own sonority and Micus uses a natural reverberation to strike an overtone appeal. His sound design has some remnants of dissonance and avant-garde tendencies, and, within that realm, Micus uses experimental techniques to forge space music properties with acoustic tools. This CD will appeal to fans of Riley Lee, Stan Richardson, Nawang Khechog, and R. Carlos Nakai.

Info: Stephan Micus dilruba, guitar, kortholt, suling, ki un ki, ballast-strings, tin whistle, balinese gong, sho German multi-instrumentalist Stephan Micus was making his own rather idiosyncratic version of world music years before it became fashionable to do so. Micus specializes in taking ethnic instruments from all over the planet and using them, in ways that transcend their traditional contexts, to play his own moody and somewhat austere compositions. On Darkness and Light Micus makes extensive use of the dilruba, a four-stringed bowed Indian instrument that sounds somewhat like a nasal cello which has 24 sympathetic strings that set up a hypnotic drone effect behind the haunting melodies. Also featured are the classical Spanish guitar, the Balinese suling flute, an Irish tin whistle, the sho (a Japanese bamboo mouth-organ), the kortholt (a German renaissance reed instrument), various gongs, and the remarkable ki un ki, a six-foot-long Siberian cane trumpet (pictured on the cover), whose spirited blasts are created by inhaling rather than exhaling. Multi-tracking himself to create his own global orchestra, Micus freely mixes these diverse instruments in ways that draw out their universal and timeless qualities. This slow, patient, spacious music reaches down into the depths of the listener's consciousness to conjure up its images of Darkness and Light.

Stephan Micus - Wings over water (1990) (Only front cover) Download part 1: http://sharebee.com/ca630dd4 Filename: Wings over water (part 1).rar Size: 88.05 MB Download part 2:http://sharebee.com/c3cd1c0b Filename: Wings over water (part 2).rar Size: 32.39 MB

Info: Stephan Micus acoustic guitar, nay, sarangi, voice, flowerpots, spanish guitar, Bavarian zither, suling Wings Over Water is a set of acoustic ambient creativity from Stephan Micus, a master sound designer. He uses a ney flute, Spanish guitars, Bavarian zithers, acoustic guitars, a sarangi, voice, and 22 flowerpots. This is very exotic and esoteric music. Micus takes advantage of the natural timbres and textures of these devices and creates a different kind of ambience. It is definitely not mainstream, decidedly avant-garde, and highly essential for the adventurous music lover. It is in a class by itself.

Stephan Micus - To the evening child (1992) (Front cover and back included) Download link: http://sharebee.com/8d36a026 Filename: To the evening child.rar Size: 69.27 MB

Info:Stephan Micus steeldrums, voice, dilruba, suling, kortholt, nay, sinding Wistful, sweet-sad melodies, warm, glowing chords, shadows become sound; strands of light are tuned and strummed … a truly original voice, suffused with a mysticism that is equal parts Western and Eastern. The music of Stephan Micus cannot be bracketed in a special category with jazz, Asian music or Indo-jazz. Multi-instrumentalist Micus - on bamboo flutes, rabab, sitar, zither and sho - is completely right: this music is not Japanese, not Indian, and not Bavarian … from the cultures which im-pressed him as a West European, he has created a high-standard eclectic music greater than the sum of its parts. The interesting sounds of these unusual instruments contrast strongly with the thoughtless imitative monotony of the synthetic sounds which are delivered to our houses in such great quantity by the pop in-dustry. It becomes clear, however, that it is not possible to imitate everything. Micus himself does not imitate. He takes inspirations - from the Far East for example - and transforms them into his own quite Euro-pean music.

Stephan Micus - Athos (1994) (Full booklet included) Download link: http://sharebee.com/cab899bd Filename: Athos.rar Size: 70.36 MB Stephan Micus, Bavarian zither, sattar, shakuhachi, suling, nay, flowerpots, voice

Info:Listening to the music of Stephan Micus - which is as itinerant and wide ranging as his life - is one of the most profound experiences possible today. Beyond categories and labels, this German artist was already way ahead of trends when he released his first album in 1976. Fifteen recordings later The Garden of Mirrors, his first CD since the phenomenal Athos, seems on the surface to be heading in a stylistic direction pointing towards the Orient. But upon further listening it's clear Micus is exploring an internal universe governed by natural elements on the one hand and, paradoxically, by silence on the other. "Passing Cloud", "Gates of Fire" and "Words of Truth" are the titles Micus uses to name pieces that elaborate his personal liturgy and interpret the movement of water and wind, the flight of clouds and the voices of the spirit. An intrepid traveller and perpetual student, he has learned to play ancient and rare traditional instruments that are as evocative as they are esoteric. When he sings he sounds like a chanting mystic in a trance. The Garden of Mirrors is a recording to be experienced the way one would a journey, the type of voyage Bruce Chatwin would describe as "looking inward".
