about

This piece is an imaginary soundtrack for an imaginary film about the people of the Fitzcarrald Province, Ancash, Peru, which in the 1890s were enslaved by Fitzcarrald (*) to work for the extraction of rubber.

I envisioned this music to accompany a dramatic scene, with native families of Mirabamba (**) trying to flee along Andean trails, pursued by armed mercenaries in the pay of Fizcarrald.

"Mirabamba" is for piano, cello, marimba, and two double basses. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Eidon.

(*) From Wikipedia: "Carlos Fermín Fitzcarrald López (6 July 1862 – 9 July 1897) was a Peruvian rubber baron. He was born in San Luis, Ancash, in a province which was later named after him. In the early 1890s, he discovered the Isthmus of Fitzcarrald, which was a portage route that allowed transportation from the Ucayali River into the Madre de Dios River basin. Fitzcarrald became known as the "King of Caucho" due to his success during the rubber boom. His enterprise exploited and enslaved Asháninka, Mashco-Piro, Harákmbut, Shipibo-Conibo and various other native groups, which were then dedicated to the extraction of rubber."

(**) Mirabamba is a little town in the Yauya District of Fitzcarrald Province, elevation: 2753 mt. "Situated nearby to the locality Yauya and the village Llama. Mainly indigenous citizens of Quechua descent".

"Eidon put ook uit mathrock, minimal music, jazz, etnische muziek... Hij zou perfect passen als support van Gogo Penguin, Battles of Dijf Sanders en kan op termijn misschien wel een plaats veroveren op zowel Rock Werchter als Gent Jazz of Couleur Café. Benieuwd hoe hij dit live brengt"
