Hermeto Pascoal, Brazil’s “Sorcerer of Sound,” famously turned a lagoon into a musical instrument during his iconic Música da Lagoa performance. Playing flutes underwater and using the natural acoustics of the lagoon, Pascoal created an otherworldly auditory experience. Known for his innovation, Pascoal’s fascination with sound began in childhood, crafting instruments from nature and experimenting with everyday objects. His groundbreaking work, including collaborations with Miles Davis, cemented his legacy as a pioneer of avant-garde jazz, blurring the lines between music and the natural world.
