Comments for Stearns, Michael, Sacred Site

Since his 1988 HOS debut ENCOUNTER, this much-admired spacemusic veteran has been turning out spectacular multi-channel music for IMAX and 70mm widescreen features, and exhibition rides like Universal`s Back to the Future. On SACRED SITE, a decade (1983-1993) of soundtracks, scores, and related music inspired by world travels are collected, including his spine-tingling theme for director Ron Fricke`s 1993 70mm release Baraka, and the stirring chants of Indian medicine man Lessert Moore from the HBO Paha Sapa soundtrack. Runs the gamut from exotic, to powerful, to majestic.
