"The field recording I worked with was of a 'Jaguar Whistle', an instrument designed to replicate the sound of a jaguar. My understanding is that in Mesoamerican cultures, the jaguar was a symbol of transformation, bridging the earthly and spiritual realms. Research suggested that Shamans and rulers sought to embody its power, believing they could take on its form to navigate the unseen world, and through ritual practices, including trance states and sacred ceremonies, they invoked the jaguar’s essence to move between life and the underworld, gaining wisdom, strength, and protection.
"The jaguar’s ability to thrive in darkness, water, and hidden places made it a guardian of thresholds, a being capable of transcending the boundaries of human existence. Without the understanding of the cultural importance of the jaguar, the significance of the whistle could be missed. Inspired by this, I created a piece that translates the original recording of the jaguar whistle into a musical form, reflecting its role in transformation and passage between realms."
