From the album Flying Rivers (Jeff Gburek & George Christian). The soundscape entitled "Amazonas" was composed after careful listening to the extensive field recording of the Mamori Lake area in Brazil made by Thelmo Cristovam. Within this ambience I wove the other sounds of George Christian walking in San Salvador, the voice of a young indigenous girl singing a song to the river. I wrote a poem in English which George Christian translated into Portuguese. I asked various Portuguese speaking friends to read the poem. Many thanks again to Ana Kavalis (Cuba/ Berlin), Cristina Ferreia (Poznan/ Porto, Portugal) , Denize Mota (Poznan/ Manaus, Brazil). Many thanks to the rivers and oceans and to great spirit. Full text available on Bandcamp.
