In the past, his music has focused on simplicity, with a Zen-like spareness of form; however, in this new release he indulges in overdubbing Overdubbing (the process of making an overdub, or overdubs) is a technique used by recording studios to add a supplementary recorded sound to a previously recorded performance. and other Western tricks to make his sound more grandiose, with the end result being an album that is rich, full, and quite enjoyable. Even with all of the overdubbing and variety of sounds, however, the simplicity of his musical vision shines through; this is music more likely to appeal to fans of Part than of Rimsky-Korsakov. I invoke the names of those "classical" composers quite deliberately, for much of Micus's music on Desert Poems sounds like contemporary classical music In the broadest sense, contemporary music is any music being written in the present day. Contemporary classical music can be understood as belonging to a period that started in the mid-1970s with the retreat of modernism. , but played on folk instruments rather than orchestral instruments. Some for the arrangements also feature Micus's voice. The end result is a rich-sounding recording of great appeal. --KWN |
