Bert Strolenberg / SonicImmersion.org –
In June 2025, after many years of friendship and shared musical interests, sound explorers Michael Stearns and Robert Rich finally embarked on a collaboration to create an album together. They actually met back in 1986 when Stephen Hill introduced them to each other, being label mates on the acclaimed Hearts of Space label. In many ways, the 66-minute “Reunion of Breath and Waves” is a celebration of sounds as well as true sonic craftmanship, merging the synthetic, acoustic, tactile and the organic to a cohesive, beautifully shaped as well as thoughtful whole. Circular patterns arise and fade away while the listener enters a domain of elegant, meditative, profound and cosmic spaces existing elsewhere and out of time. In addition, it appears there’s a kind of narrative storytelling along a gathering of spirits going on in the captivating sonic explorations that’s hard to pinpoint. Especially the second half of the recording moved me deeply with gems such as “The Deep Below” and “Inclusions”.
“Reunion of Breath and Waves” proves an emotive aural journey of sonic mystery full of depth.
Hats off to both of you.
