"The field recording is a completed song, sung to the backdrop of a symphony of sounds apparently arising from the Peruvian Amazon setting where the performance and recoding took place. The chant/song repeats and winds upwards in tonal centre as it journeys through a call and response form.
"My composition takes shape as a tribute to the eternal, calm yet elegant and alive feeling and state of mind that I experienced with the field recording. The oud is performed as a single extended gesture of surprise and awe, playfully speaking to the song’s landscape with juxtaposing textures and rhythms."
