The piece concept originates from fieldwork conducted in the Amazon Rainforest in 2025
with the Acoustic Ecology Lab in Mexico (LEAM). The composition is created using field

Registering the transformation of the ecosystems, where species and their habitats are being

Their presence announces life; their silence warns of death. The Guardians are these diverse
forms of survival—millenary protectors who sustain life on Earth despite ongoing threats.
