. .
. 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 .
. the same day. .
