Secret Amazon: Into The Wild (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Air-Edel Records presents Richard Collin’s soundtrack for Secret Amazon: Into The Wild, directed by Marty Stalker. The two-part documentary premiered on Channel 4 this month and follows British explorer, Lucy Shepherd, as she embarks on an Amazon expedition across virgin jungle territory while facing danger at every turn.

‘Secrets of the Amazon’ explores the adventures of Lucy Shepard and her Indigenous team as they embark on an unprecedented 50-day expedition to traverse unexplored parts of the Amazon rainforest, highlighting the urgent need for rainforest preservation to safeguard our future. 

For the score, Lucy and I decided the music should focus on two key features: the powers and spirits of the rainforest as well as the human bond between Lucy and her indigenous team. 

To represent the rainforest I opted for primal, close percussion mixed with live and processed sounds from a double bass. For the more human element of the story, I leaned more towards guitars and indigenous flutes to help convey the beauty as well as the more spiritual elements of the show such as the illusive and Bushmaster Snake.  Richard Collins
