Confluencia lejana

"To create this piece, I used the completely raw recording of segment 3. Then, I cut a few seconds from it and layered them, processing them with different filters, delay, and equalizer to create distinct textures. I also wanted to layer my own recording from inside the Rio Negro (the river in my hometown) to give another perspective to the subjective listening experience, as well as to understand what a river sounds like from the outside, as can be heard in the original recording. 

"I chose to accompany the entire piece with a drone using a pad synthesizer, playing with different tones and effects. I simply let my imagination run wild and experimented with different textures and tones, like when we are submerged in the depths of a river while the world outside keeps turning."
