Listening to “Aquas de León Azul” is an experience of seeing the world differently through the artists’ poetic language and minimalist, primordial soundscapes that are both cosmic and earthy. Kikù Hibino’s synthesizers create an anti-gravitational space, generating monolithic forms, while Ana Paula Santana’s faint vocals and the sound of ceramics pull these forms back to the ground. This tension maintains a mysterious balance throughout the music. Transparent yet opaque, like light yet like rock, this unique art form transcends traditional boundaries, offering an unparalleled auditory journey.

Album downloads include 48K 24-Bit WAV, FLAC, and ALAC files. For the highest sound quality, we recommend the 48K 24-Bit WAV format, and for those needing a smaller file size, FLAC (for PC) and ALAC (for Mac) are available. FLAC is a lossless codec but cannot be played directly on MacOS, so Mac users should use ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) for seamless playback. To optimize download size and ensure the best possible sound quality, we do not include 44.1K 16-Bit or MP3 files, as we believe these formats are outdated and do not meet our quality standards.
