Both a continuation and a departure from earlier work, "Life" sets to music an old Zen koan, or teaching story, on "the meaning of life". Stephan Micus sings the text in Japanese and embodies the koan's multi-layered meanings in his composition, scored for a characteristically wide range of ethnic/traditional instruments - from the Ethiopian bagana to the Irish tin whistle.
