MICHAEL STEARNS
"SPIRITS OF THE VOYAGE"
Earth Turtle Music / Triton Films
This CD by Michael Stearns is the soundtrack the artist created for a documentary by Triton films about the magical initiation rites of Micronesian navigators dating from ancient times , whose traditions, wisdom, lore and courage has lasted for thousands of years. The sixteen tracks paint a wondrous soundscape which takes us throughout space and time sailing the Pacific seas, portraying the beauty of the islands, the ritual songs and chants made on the island of Lamotrek, where the filming took place, the prayers of those about to sail into their quest as well as those from their loved ones asking for protection from the sea spirits for their kin about to test their skills on sea... It is indeed a fine addition to the World Music universe, with its flavor of distant lands and unknown quests full of the spirits of the sea, with relaxing touches and soft textures, bringing inner peace and enhancing the imagination of the listener, an album that will no doubt appeal to the lovers of this musical style.
