The Music of Stones

Released

Elmar Daucher’s resonating stones take a logical turn into the sound world of Stephen Micus. Here, they constitute more than a backdrop for Micus’s fluid melodies on the shakuhachi, tin whistle, and voice. Rather, they act as the cosmos from which those notes are born. While Micus is typically content with multi-tracked configurations of the self, he is joined by his wife Nobuko, Günther Federer, and Daucher himself on resonating stones. Add to these Micus’s unique instrumental prowess in the reverberant embrace of Germany’s Ulm Cathedral (a resonating stone in and of itself), and meditation is guaranteed.
