Stephan Micus is a one-man universe of sound. He collects and studies instruments from around the world and creates his own musical journeys with them. The 12 tracks on Winter’s End, his 24th solo album, feature 2 new instruments: the chikulo from Mozambique and a Central African-style tongue drum. In addition, there’s kalimba (thumb piano,) sinding (Gambian harp,) Egyptian nay flute, Japanese nohkan flute, Balinese suling flute, and more. Most of these have never been heard together before.
