The Brazilian pianist draws profound inspiration from the Amazon rainforest and indigenous traditions for this complex, polyrhythmic suite. Moving away from standard trio formats, the compositions incorporate prepared piano techniques alongside subtle synthesizers and diverse acoustic instrumentation to evoke dense, tropical atmospheres.
