商品の説明 AMAZONレビュー For the last 30 years Stephan Micus has ploughed a fascinating furrow, of which Towards The Wind represents the continuation. A few years ago he became smitten with the Armenian duduk, and managed to persuade Djivan Gasparian, the world's most famous dudukist, to give him a month's intensive training. This CD, with its pervasively meditative mood, is the result. But it's more than just the duduk: Micus uses multi-track techniques to accompany himself on the kalimba thumb-piano, the dondon talking-drum, the Chinese sattar, and the shakuhachi, as well as the steel guitar: the layered effects he produces are clever. "Effect" is the key word here, as Micus's own words confirm: the shakuhachi and the duduk both have a breathy tone "that resonates so richly, there's really no need to write complicated pieces for them". One can express a lot, he claims, by playing one note. But he's learned the duduk well, though he can't yet produce those magically flattened tones w! hich give his mentor's music its special allure. However, when he allows his instruments to speak alone--the kalimba's high tintinnabulation, the bass guitar's growl--his music can be as evocative as the oceanic swell. --Michael Church 続きを見る
