Fred (laruellef@yahoo.com) Reviewed 2002-10-14 STEPHAN MICUS - Towards the wind ECM, 2002 WORLD ACCOUSTIC JAZZ FUSION Stephan Micus' Music is so slow and melancholic, that it takes a little while to slow down your heartbeat and get in the mood for it. Once you're there, it is quite a relaxing experience. He writes and performs his music alone. This album has been specifically composed for a few accoustic instruments from around the world, with emphasis on the armenian Duduk. Fred's picks: 1, 2, 6, 7 01-03:33-Bass Duduk solo. The Duduk is a wind instrument that sounds somewhere between a clarinet and a tenor sax. Very melancholic sound and middle-eastern touch. 02-02:16-Kalimba solo.Metal tongue-based instrument from Tanzania that sounds like a glorified music box. Very delicate atmosphere. 03-08:48-Conventional flute, guitar, talking drum. Starts slow, drums come in after 5 minutes. 04-03:56-Duduk solo 05-07:35-Kalimba, duduk, shakuhachi, talking drum. Starts slow, drums come in after 1:45. 06-05:29-Accoustic (14 strings) guitar solo. Very slow, but quite good. 07-08:46-Guitar, male singing. The very melodic singing is the lead instrument. 08-10:32 Guitar, Duduk, Shakuhachi. A shame that this one only takes off one minute before the end (around 9 minutes). | ||
