Athos (album)
''Athos'' is a 1994 album by Stephan Micus that was released on ECM. Based on a three-day visit to Mount Athos, Micus tries to capture his experiences with the Greek Orthodox liturgy he experienced in the monasteries there, framing it with pieces that evoke his emotions at going to and leaving the isolated peninsula. Between them he recreates the liturgical experience of the services during his stay, in six alternating pieces of night and day. As in his other works, Micus uses a combination of traditional instruments from various cultures to capture the feel of the monastery. These include: the ''sattar'' (a bowed 10-string instrument used by the Uyghur), the ''shakuhachi'' (a Japanese bamboo flute), the '' suling'' (a reed flute from Bali), the ''ney The ''ney'' ( fa, Ney/نی, ar, Al-Nāy/الناي), is an end-blown flute that figures prominently in Persian music and Arabic music.
