Revealing AMBI: Track 02, A House in a Forest.

This realization is the inspiration for this song.

Picture yourself in this scenario:

This is a vast garden in a house nestled in a town in the countryside of São Paulo, Brazil.

I stayed here for several months, attending to family matters.

This place has a unique soundscape. It’s not just the birds and the city’s distant noises, but also the wind, the rustling of tree leaves, and other subtle sounds. We can only truly appreciate these when we close our eyes—or when we record and incorporate them into a song.

This is the central concept behind the second track of my album, “A House in a Forest”.

After recording, I discovered the ambient sound’s root note (it’s in A), which became the foundation for the entire song.

This song explores how this serene place interacts with the city and its inhabitants. You’ll hear lingering cellos and high chords in the background (reminiscent of the ambient wind), alongside pianos, arpeggios, and even a Mellotron. These elements portray the unique dynamic of this place—offering a calming retreat for those who live there, even as they rush through their daily lives.

Next time you’re in a new place, instead of just looking at it, try closing your eyes and listening. You’ll be surprised by the new layer of information that comes to you.
