I'm excited to share that my new ambient album “Ocoyo” is out on Desert Trax today, which is a tribute to the incredible bio diversity of the jungles of Guatemala and rainforest of Ecuador, and the teachings I've received from various lineages. Through this music, I aim to express my deep appreciation for the natural beauty of our planet. This album is dedicated to Delfin & Cesario Piaguaje of the Siekopai tribe, true masters of the Amazon, who have blessed me with their wisdom in the Maloka. The essence of the lotus, the rose, as well as other plants and fungi, have been woven into the fabric of each track on this album. I am grateful for the wisdom and guidance of these allies, and for their assistance in the creation of this music. I am continually in awe of the incredible power and knowledge that can be found within the plant kingdom. 

All tracks produced and mixed by Iyakuh.

Iyakuh - Ocoyo Album (( Journey Mix ))

Insects and frogs call throughout the night in the cloud forest near a small stream, and some wind gusts pass through the canopy, shaking rain drops down.  The rain was light and falling through the foliage.  I recorded this with a Double Mid-side system.

Some pretty active birds and insects, then rain onset in the cloud forest in Costa Rica.

Birdy Rain Onset in Cloud Forest, Costa Rica

Rain in the cloud forest in Costa Rica, with a little bit of variation in wind, and some birds and insects throughout. I recorded this with a pair of omnidirectional mics hidden underneath foliage, and the sound of the rain striking various types of leaves is prominent.

Experience the distinctive calls of the Crimson-rumped Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus haematopygus) echoing through the Andean forest canopy. This recording captures the characteristic "rrrip-rrrip" vocalizations and social calls of this charismatic mountain toucan.

Tropical ecologist. I document the acoustic poems of nature and translate them into experiences of sound appreciation for mindfulness. Through my work, I build bridges between science and art, searching for silences to hear and capture the languages of our biodiversity that risks being silenced. Discover the power of tranquility in a world full of noise and the importance of a pause in our daily lives. Pause your daily routine, listen to these sound fragments and allow yourself to be transported to the ecosystems of our planet.
