Moments Worth Listening For
The interlocking marimba patterns on Japurá River that create a shimmering wall of percussive melody.
The deep, resonant cello drone that anchors the swirling woodwinds during the Purus River movement.
The transition into the final twelve minute piano piece where the percussive energy dissolves into solo intimacy.
