Moments Worth Listening For

The seamless transition from Milton's soaring falsetto into the raw, unadorned communal singing of the Yanomami people.

The rhythmic splashing of water used as a percussion instrument during the transition into Sertão das águas.

The haunting, high-register flute melody that floats above the dense forest floor textures in the opening tracks.
