Paisagens by G. Jacobina

Paisagens is the first work in a series of ambient albums by Rio de Janeiro composer Gabriel Jacobina. Inspired by the Atlantic Forest and the beach regions of Rio de Janeiro, where the artist was born and raised, the series is an ode to the state of mind that these landscapes evoke in all their beauty and uniqueness. The result of a decade of research into ambient, new age, Chinese, Indian, and modern classical music, the series seeks out the oceanic feeling and languor in the state of Rio de Janeiro: the other side of the coin that underlies its characteristic joy and sensuality.

Influenced by names such as Brian Eno, Iasos, Laraaji, Tom Jobim, Milton Nascimento, and Indian classical musicians such as Hariprasad Chaurasia, the album, composed, arranged, performed, and recorded by Gabriel Jacobina and mixed/mastered by Paulo Emmery, is a journey that explores the bucolic side of the sunny lands and seas of Rio de Janeiro.
