Alvorada · Dawn
Dawn opens the album with corixo, mud, mist and slow observation.
Tempestade · Storm
A rain front turns shelter, weight and movement into the pulse of song.
Capivara · Capybara
Backwater, clay and almost-nothing shape a track of minimal, dense observation.
Onça · Jaguar
Low tension, shadow and extreme bodily listening before an animal presence.
Bandos · Flocks
The sky as movement: corixos, formation and the collective sound of birds.
Encontro (com o jacaré) · Encounter (with the Caiman)
Water's edge, long listening, presence that does not blink.
Monos · Monkeys
Canopy, fruit and the short vocabulary of monkeys in the field.
Ninho · Nest
Branch, straw, short breath: the minimal economy of those who raise here.
Cervo · Deer
Shallow pasture, white tail, the careful rhythm of one who walks away.
Crepúsculo · Dusk
The red hour, the dark water, the field falling silent.
Brasa · Ember
Low fire, spent wood, the heat that still holds something.
Noite · Night
Closing: the album turns off the lights of the field without farewell.
