Title: Bold As Light Stephan Micus This is music that feels as solitary as the process in which it's made—Micus alone in his MCM Studio, gradually shaping pieces over the course of months or, sometimes, years—speaking deeply of spirituality, meditation and the pursuit of a calm, personally fulfilling life. But equally—and, especially here, because of the album's general lack of percussion or rhythm-capable instruments—Bold as Light's overarching tranquility can, for those engaged in the hustle and bustle of modern life, become a welcoming, fifty-minute hiatus from reality, and a chance to consider that it truly needn't be that way.
