Live at Solar Culture - Crossing Thresholds from the Earth to the Infinite - 2025
Amidst the magic of Tucson’s world-renowned Gem and Mineral Show, Michael performed at Solar Culture, his music immersing the audience in an intimate quadraphonic ambiance.
More than a concert, Michael transformed the space with a sonic alchemy.
Weaving soundscapes evoking the mysteries and the vastness of the cosmos, Michael conducted a journey beyond space and time... a meditation resonating deep within and far beyond.

Sounds Search for People - 2025
Michael Stearns and Christian Halten met in 2013 and over the following years visited each other at their respective studios in Berlin and Santa Fe where they often discussed recording an album together and finally their vision has come to fruition!

Morning Jewel - Remaster 2024
"Reflecting back, the creation of the Morning Jewel album in 1978 came about from my curiosity and exploration of recording organic sounds in nature as well as an interest in microtonal tunings. Capturing the environmental sounds became a meditation and inspiration. Intertwining those sources with my music contributed a literal 'organic' quality to 'Morning' Working with a microtonal scale and instrument brought the mathematics inherent in the natural world to 'Jewel,' lending it a more 'organic' feeling."

Planetary Unfolding 2022 Remaster
Michael’s “epic” Serge synthesizer album, in 6 movements. The Earth as a mass of sounds held together through resonance. Everything alive, atoms, cells, the Earth’s core, oceans, plants, animals and humans, the seen and the unseen, all creating a complex orchestration… the Earth as a being of sound. The Earth within the cosmos, the cosmos a vibrating orchestration with a resonance so complex and deep we hear nothing, no-thing, and are engulfed by a vast and tender silence.

BEYOND EARTH & SKY
by Steve Roach / Michael Stearns
"Twenty-six years after their noted collaboration KIVA (1995), American electronic music originators Steve Roach and Michael Stearns’ orbits return to a point on the horizon between and beyond worlds. Their mastery of tactile sonic environments meld into boundary-defying music creating a language of transcending and transformative experiences. These seven captivating tracks are born from a devotion to the power of sound. Within realms of elemental, primordial, celestial and deep emotion, the enveloping influence is found within the natural world of forests, deserts, canyons, mountains and the beyond."
“Checking in deeply after decades apart,” Steve reflects, “Michael and I found we both chose to live in places away from cities, close to the natural world. The ongoing influence of the environment we live in gives us another level of going past the day to day. Out my window, I look seventy-five miles to the horizon, horizon is home. We’re both at home in our element, present in one’s self while focused on something far in the distance, moving towards it, pulling us out there.”
