Creative Rationale
Over the high Andean plateau of Bolivia and Peru, where thin air creates unusual atmospheric conditions, the extremely low pressure and minimal wind create a contemplative, weightless musical composition. The cold temperature anomaly and dry conditions inspire large, deep geometric forms floating in suspended animation, like bass notes held in the rarified mountain air. The gentle northeast wind provides a subtle diagonal drift to the composition, while the low humidity keeps the shapes crisp and distinct against the muted highland atmosphere.
