Steve Gibbs - Patterns (Cyrus Reynolds Remix)

We Move Lightly

Stereo Love (Instrumental)

Inspired by a legend from the contryside of Venezuela and Colombia. "Bolefuego" is the spirit of a woman that was burned alive in her home, along with her two children due to her inmoral behavior. She attacks travelers. Those facing her are advised not to pray; unlike other evil entities, the Bolefuego is attracted by prayers.

Instrumentation: two marimbas, two vibraphones, two glockenspiels and a bass marimba.

This piece was premiered by "Les Percussions Claviers de Lyon" @percussionsclaviersdelyon

This recording is from the general rehersal.
