Nomad Songs

Stephan Micus

A solitary traveler’s inventory of desert lutes and thumb pianos. Deeply rhythmic yet profoundly still, it feels like a map of a country that doesn't exist.

June 26, 2015 · ECM Records

A grounded, rhythmic sense of wandering that feels both ancient and deeply personal.

Moments Worth Listening For
The deep, percussive thrum of the genbri on track 1 creating a rhythmic foundation that feels like a slow heartbeat.
The shimmering, metallic interlocking of the ndingo thumb pianos on track 7, mimicking the chaotic joy of a small celebration.
The haunting multi-tracked vocal harmonies on track 11 that swell like a phantom choir in a cathedral made of trees.
