Cities and Memory - remixing the world

Within Kichwa nights

28 Nov 2025

Description

"Recorded deep inside Kichwa territory in the Ecuadorian Amazon, this nocturnal soundscape draws the listener into the forest’s hidden hours - where every sound carries the presence of something living, alert, and unseen. "When darkness settles over the canopy, the rainforest begins its slow transformation. Bats cut swift paths through the night, their wings beating in soft, fleeting pulses. Insects rise all around, casting an electric shimmer into the air, layers of rhythm that flicker, pulse and drift across the forest’s vast acoustic space. "Beneath the leaves, an unseen monkey shifts its weight, each movement swallowed by the murmuring undergrowth - haunting yet delicate, a brief opening into the forest’s deeper mysteries. Under it all, the rainforest breathes to its own pulse through the darkness, grounding the night’s shifting textures. "Within Kichwa Nights is an immersion into the rainforest’s nocturnal life - a living composition shaped by instinct, interdependence, and fragile continuity. These voices arise from a specific moment in an ancestral landscape where every creature’s call forms part of a larger, breathing tapestry, enduring the vitality of the land and the guardians who protect it."  Kichwa territory forest soundscape reimagined by Nikki Sheth.
