Album Info

Release Date: 1997

Label: Earthtone Records

The deep calm of the ancient rainforests of Peru served as the inspiration for this richly textured album of traditional Andean instrumental music. The gentle throbbing beat of native drums is interwoven with lush sounds of nature and exquisitely delicate flute melodies to create a mystical, trance-inducing curtain of sound.

Inspired by their travels through the Peruvian forest, Alexander Baker and Clair Marlo create sonic lanscapes which evokes the ever-changing moods and emotions experienced in this magnificent setting. They draw upon the musical influence of native melodies and instruments as well as their own folk music background.
