Two hours of sounds from the late Matt Shoemaker, created from material recorded in the Amazonas, Brazil in Nov 2007 and in Seattle Dec 2007-Jan 2008. "Tropical Amnesia Two stays in a fairly loud and oppressing volume but throughout it changes and moves through what I think is probably the whole range of animal life; insects, frogs, birds. In "Tropical Amnesia Three" moves through the same animal sounds, with birds leaping out of the choir of cicadas and ending with something that is close by the microphone, sounding as if Shoemaker was close to the pond in a rowing boat. Towards the end of it all, there is a sign of human life and perhaps also the best example of this being construction of organized sound...I thought, was very delicate work, even in all it's considerable presence" (Vital Weekly).
