"Stephan Micus is a musical globetrotter and multi-instrumentalist who has been exploring the diversity of sounds on our planet for almost five decades. Since the release of his debut album in the 1970s, he has recorded nearly 30 albums -- always on his own and with an impressive range of wind, string and percussion instruments from all over the world. As a self-taught musician, he has always been passionate about traditional and exotic instruments, which he not only explores in their original playing style, but also places in a completely new context using unconventional techniques. Over the years, Micus has developed an unmistakable musical language that has long since become his trademark. His soundscapes transport listeners to distant places and open up meditative spaces full of beauty and depth. They show that instruments from different cultures can blend together in harmony -- a musical vision that conveys hope and connectedness. With Behind Eleven Deserts, Stephan Micus presents a work of exceptional radiance. Originally composed in 1978, it combines the Balinese bamboo flute suling with the Indian sarangi, whose warm timbre is reminiscent of a cello. The sound spectrum is complemented by the Indian sitar and the Irish frame drum bodhran. The result is a multi-layered and timeless soundscape that transcends cultural boundaries and at the same time leads deep into meditative spheres. Now, Behind Eleven Deserts is being released for the first time in the INTUITION Master Series as a carefully remastered 180-gram vinyl edition by Intuition Music -- a masterpiece that, more than four decades after its creation, has lost none of its intensity and relevance."
