## Description

Long-awaited and arrestingly different new album from Steve Tibbetts, Zen-guitarist of Minnesota, accompanied by his musical partner of many years, percussionist Marc Anderson. It is a primarily acoustic album, but an unconventional one. Austerity was part of the original plan, &quot;saying more with less&quot;, but, not for the first time, Tibbetts would find himself drawn to experiment in the studio. The principal instrument heard on the album is an old Martin 12 string guitar which, as Steve says, has a mellow, aged sound to it. One of the conceptual references for the sound direction was the playing of Indian sarangi (bowed lute) master Sultan Khan. Gamelan-inspired gong cycles, influenced by Tibbetts&apos; travels through Indonesia, are also part of the music, with fine detail also supplied by kalimba and bouzouki.

    Beautiful Acoustic Tapestry
  

*by A***D on September 5, 2010*









  
  
    This new acoustic recording from Steve Tibbetts and Marc Anderson is well worth the wait (It's been 8 years since his last solo recording, and I'd begun to worry if he'd grown tired of expressing himself with such instruments and sounds). My wife (who is usually not a huge Tibbetts fan) comments that it is "absolutely beautiful". I think it's great too, but not as immediately captivating (interesting or exciting) as his more electric stuff, but my wife is a lot mellower (subtle and wiser) than I... For me this is more background music, lush washes of guitar (acoustic, but still often delightfully tortured in Tibbetts' distinctive way), and layers of interesting often delicate percussions, but without the fertile and evocative sound-scape images of his previous compositions. The short acoustic motifs are familiar from his previous recordings, here layered into shifting and gently surging and ultimately blending patterns. It is different from anything he's done (at least since 1981, when they collaborated on NORTHERN SONG's sparse, quiet almost somber, acoustic recording), and it's a nice change to have these acoustic riffs just continue and build without the more space-tearing, mind-bending, electric energy his albums are often punctuated with. So, in the end I guess we get an older, wiser and gentler (and quietly joyful) Tibbetts (and Anderson), not concerned with making new music (or tearing the fabric of his older music) as much as seeing what lies hidden in the folds...naturally exploring what lies within.

    Tibbetts hits another home run
  

*by B***R on April 14, 2011*









  
  
    Steve Tibbetts always manages to re-invent the genre that he essentially invented anyway. For those who know his music, you know what I mean; for those who don't, I wouldn't know where to begin, since his music doesn't sound like anyone else's. Suffice to say that he is always at his creative, inventive, innovative best, and this CD is no exception.
