Long recognized documentary director Antonio Dorado (El Rey, I Love You Ana Elisa) based on the book "The River" Wide Davis who recounts the experiences of the botanist, explorer and naturalist-origin scientist Richard Evan Schultes, who 1938 sent by the U.S. government came to the Colombian Amazon in search of rubber to meet the lack of this input in making provision for the Second World War. What Schultes did not know was that this would be a journey of 12 years.
A truly fascinating and beautiful project that took me to a very enrriquecedora exploration and reflection that led to a score results in some "conventional" and very personal, which is not at all common in this business.
The music was the main challenge the approach through the Western language to commune with the forest and its mysticism, for which I decided to use three indigenous flutes in the orchestration, and ethnic percussion and an element that helped a lot to connect the music with the cosmological view of the tribes that inhabit the banks of the river Apaporis, a small mixed choir, which together with the chamber orchestra managed to keep the balance of the soniridad.
The interpretation of the score was handled by Cali Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir of the Opera Workshop at the Universidad del Valle, both under my direction both for recording and for the presentation held at the opening of International Festival Cali Art last September. The recording was made by my friend the engineer Camilo Posada, who did a great job during the week working in Cali. I feel
grateful for this project that made it my career pleasant experiences and memories that take forever in my memory. Here is
2 pieces, the main theme Apaporis:
