Garden Of Mirrors LP

Recorded in 1995-96 at MCM Studios. Just one look at the many instruments Stephan Micus plays is sure to impress, so too does one's experience of what he produces with them dispel arbitrary interest in those means. Music flows from his fingertips in such an organic way that the source catches light in all of us. Nothing feels out of place. It's worth noting, however, that The Garden of Mirrors makes special use of that most intuitive instrument of all: the human voice. Like water in sunset, Micus's wordless songs collect light years of travel along the glittering surface of their multiplication. Twenty such voices manifest themselves first in "Earth." Accompanied by the bolombatto, an African gut-stringed harp, this world traveler speaks to the very marrow of life. A binary star leaves his lips, the being to our nonbeing. Now available on vinyl.
