      .    Alongside Stephan Micus, Steve Tibbetts occupies a           .
      .    somewhat rare position in ECM's roster of longstanding       .
      .    musical collaborators. Like the German                       .
      .    composer/multi-instrumentalist, this "Zen Guitarist"         .
      .    defies ECM's general rule of two days to record, one day     .
      .    to mix (with minimal editing and overdubbing); instead,      .
      .    Tibbetts has, with rare exception, recorded his music        .
      .    from a home base in St. Paul, Minneapolisùagain like         .
      .    Micus, sometimes taking years between recordings and with    .
      .    minimal label intervention. Unlike Micus, however, who       .
      .    produces his albums in isolation, Tibbetts regularly         .
      .    collaborates with others, most notably percussionist Marc    .
      .    Andersonùa constant companion since the guitarist's ECM      .
      .    debut, Northern Song (1982).                                 .
      .                                                                 .
      .    Despite Tibbetts' recruitment of others engendering a        .
      .    certain spontaneity absent in Micus' carefully               .
      .    constructed work, his similarly multi-tracked music does     .
      .    rely on texturally expansive but sonically detailed          .
      .    soundscapes. Like 1994's career milestone, The Fall of Us    .
      .    All (1994), A Man About a Horse (2002) was a deceptively     .
      .    ambitious collection of largely calming but still            .
      .    unequivocally deep performances, calling upon a larger       .
      .    cast of characters. Natural Causes's return to the           .
      .    relative simplicity of a duo with Andersonùlast heard on     .
      .    Northern Song (1982)ùstill stands out amongst Tibbetts'      .
      .    ECM discography for its all-acoustic nature.                 .
      .                                                                 .
      .    Simpler in premise, perhaps, but comparisons with            .
      .    Northern Song only demonstrate just how far Tibbetts has     .
      .    come. His predilection, here, for 12-string acoustic         .
      .    guitar might draw superficial comparison to label mate       .
      .    Ralph Towner, but Tibbetts eschews the Oregon cofounder's    .
      .    detailed, change-heavy compositional constructs; relying,    .
      .    instead, on miniature orchestration built from relatively    .
      .    diminutive instrumentation. Tibbetts layers over 20          .
      .    guitar tracks on "Gulezian"ùco-written with guitarist        .
      .    Michael Gulezian and the only piece not written solely by    .
      .    Tibbettsùwithout ever feeling overcrowded. Its overt         .
      .    folksiness reflects the perennially undervalued              .
      .    Gulezian's biggest touchstoneùacoustic guitar icons like     .
      .    Leo Kottke and John Faheyùbut with Tibbetts at the helm      .
      .    it retains, unsurprisingly, an episodic sense of             .
      .    evolution, as miniature moments of serenity and              .
      .    near-silence contrast with rhythmic passages driven only     .
      .    occasionally by Anderson's economy of sound and pulse.       .
      .                                                                 .
      .    Tibbetts' piano and kalimba underpin tracks like the         .
      .    hypnotically propulsive "Chandogra," while Anderson's        .
      .    steel drum engenders additional timbral diversity on         .
      .    "Lakshmivana." Still, it's Tibbetts' resonant                .
      .    12-stringùimbued in phrasing and serpentine linearity by     .
      .    the guitarist's longstanding Far East interests in           .
      .    general, and the work, here, of Sultan Khan in               .
      .    particularùthat's Natural Causes' defining voice.            .
      .                                                                 .
      .    All-acoustic it may be, but Tibbetts' still employs some     .
      .    studio wizardry to create lush sonic backdrops, as he        .
      .    does at the end of "Lakshmivanam." Billed as a duo           .
      .    recording, Natural Causes' multifaceted nature,              .
      .    continually revealing layers and trance-inducing             .
      .    sonorities make clear that there's a silent third            .
      .    partner: the studio itself. Natural Causes couldn't have     .
      .    been created outside the confines of the recording studio    .
      .    butùin its organic holism and absolutely timeless            .
      .    natureùfeels as though it were made in some remote           .
      .    outdoor locale. Natural Causes' vivid imagery makes it,      .
      .    in fact, the ideal companion to Norwegian pianist Ketil      .
      .    Bj°rnstad's similarly cinematic but utterly different        .
      .    Remembrance, also released in North American by ECM, on      .
