Description
===========
Listening to a Stephan Micus album is always like taking a journey through
darkness and light, and so it is no wonder that his fourth album for ECM should
bear that very title. The sarangi-like tones of the dilrubi of Part 1 open up a
pathway that is indeed by turns bright and shaded. The path is circular,
Its chain of arpeggios carries in its arms a bouquet of memories and rests it
in the crook of a tree, where it plays for the sake of Nature. From that
whispered cove arises a mermaid holding a bow at the edge of a string. With
every splitting of voice we are veiled in deeper solitude. Mournful songs shape
a still heart, hanging on to certain threads longer than others. The guitar
helps us to nourish ourselves with what remains in its chamber, stenciling the
periphery with every pluck and unearthing in the afterlife all that is yet to
come. Even in the absence of a bow, we feel our voices continuing to spin novel
draws in the ether.
Darkness And Light is as fleeting as its message, transparent as water and
betraying its presence only through reflections. Still, its elemental forces
one feels they might linger forever.--Tyran Grillo
