Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Brazilian duo constructs an eclectic, avant-garde soundscape that boldly intertwines modern classical composition with experimental regional folk. Featuring unconventional choral arrangements and free improvisation, the record consistently defies standard acoustic conventions. It represents a daring and highly intellectual chapter in the South American experimental music underground.
