about

"One of the main aesthetic reasons for making 'La Deriva' was the fact that it was an ambient music record produced by two Latin American musicians. This is not innovative, nor is it intended to be a secretive element (actually it's the exact opposite). At what point does a political arbitrariness limits an identity? In a capitalist world that uses a "divide and conquer" modus operandi, this idea of unity is a form of resistance.

In the other hand, La Deriva (Spanish for "The Drift"), is an unplanned and spontaneous exploration of abstract concepts and blurry images that came together throughout a dynamical exchange of sound ideas,
textures, field recordings between Carlos Ferreira and Almanacs, and then converged together into a set of sound poems which lately became an album." CF / WM

Carlos Ferreira recommends:

Architecture of Loss
by Valgeir Sigurðsson

This record is a real piece of art. Beautiful sound textures, brilliantly sculpted. Valgeir is a big influence of mine, and this record was probably what I heard most of him. Highly recommended! Carlos Ferreira

Library Music Vol. 1
by Fu_k The Zeitgeist

Second album by my friend Fu_k the Zeitgeist, co-producer of "Híbrido". From all of his solo discography, this is probably my favorite. Also had the privilege of participating in several tracks. Carlos Ferreira
