Musically, the trio succeed in conveying a true “Heart Of Darkness” soundscape with their playing, painting a dark green hell where we can feel the moss and fungus dripping down our backs, and Werner Herzog is never more than five feet away in his questing canoe. The music also suggests the grandeur, the solitary and unknowable nature of these grand old men of the forest who probably keep the secrets of the ancients locked up in their thick bark. Truly atmospheric! - Ed Pinset, The Sound Projector

Les palétuviers sont des arbres tropicaux capables de prospérer le long des rivages marins. Ils supportent l'ennoiement régulier de leur base dans l'eau salée, vivent en colonies et forment de véritables forêts amphibies, souvent très denses, appelées mangroves. Pour s'adapter à leur environnement particulier, la plupart ont développé des systèmes de racines aériennes dont la forme la plus caractéristique est celle d'échasses, permettant aux arbres de vivre sur de véritables pilotis.

Les instruments acoustiques ont été enregistrés en extrême « close-mic » afin de libérer au maximum le son initial des instruments tout en obligeant un jeu subtil et minimal.
