Since I first arrived to Fatt I had noticed this beautifull sound made by running water inside a stone structure being used as a stage for the festival's presentations: the last day I waited until 6:00 AM for everyone to go way so I could record it as pure as possible so I jumped inside the structure with my gear, Marisa and Xiu jumping around, João and Rita packed with their cameras, talking about exposure speed, shuter overture, experiences, dreams. Call it good or bad luck, there were still some guys playing the drums on the opposite side of the stream, some 50m way. These drum sounds mix with the running water into what later felt to me like a pleasant, magical pattern. You can find them running along on the lower frequencies:
Water1
Water2
