Awareness Magazine - by Jim Brenholts
Vacuuming the Forest is a set of lush melodies with subtle nature
sounds woven into and around the sound design. Amilcar composed,
engineered and performed all of the music.

There is a feature of this experience that deserves praise before and
above all else. Amilcar is donating a portion of the proceeds from
this CD to Covenant House Florida, an agency that serves runaway,
homeless and at-risk youth (under 21 years old) in Fort Lauderdale and
Orlando. Their services include outreach, crisis shelters,
transitional housing, walk-in and aftercare assistance. Visit
www.covenanthousefl.org. (Having worked with adolescents as a drug and
alcohol therapist, I can assure all of you that it is an extremely
difficult population. I now work with adjudicated adult males and they
are much easier.)

After that noble and credible action, one could expect the music to be
anti-climactic. It is not! Amilcar has created a masterful set of
gentle atmospheres and soundscapes with subtle drama and widespread
appeal. The atmospheres surround and caress focused listeners as the
journey through the forest begins. The vehicle continues to be a
conduit of love, purity and tranquility as Amilcar takes his charges
through the paces to honor the natural heritage of this habitat. Each
composition transitions smoothly to and sets the stage for the next.
Deep listeners will finish the journey feeling refreshed — almost
purified.

This is a necessary holistic wellness tool. The donations add much
icing to the cake. Amilcar has a rich heritage and a promising future.
