Cloud Forest was inspired by my visits to Ecuador, my travels between Quito and Esmeraldas, and the Ecuadorian cloud forests. It begins with the spinning, uneven journey from the top of Ecuador to the Pacific Ocean and ends with the trip back to Quito. The work also depicts the beauty of the lush forests and the great times I had with my friends in Ecuador.
When I arrived in Esmeraldas after my long journey from Quito, the marimba I had expected to perform on was not there. The only marimba available was a small traditional instrument that had been built by a local musician. The piece I had planned to perform would not fit on this marimba. Rather than give up, I took the two hours I had before the concert, came up with some ideas, and then improvised a work that I entitled Journey to Esmeraldas. The main themes in Cloud Forest come from this improvisation.
Cloud Forest was commissioned by Spindrift Percussion Group in 2005. The original version was for percussion trio and soloist. In 2008 I revised the work for marimba soloist and percussion quartet.
The score and parts for Cloud Forest are available from SteveWeissMusic.com

Costa Rica has dense forests scattered across much of the country. In this video, we explore the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve with naturalist guide Francisco Castro. Along the way, we'll learn about the various interactions among species in the cloud forest.
Strangler figs are a type of tropical tree that germinate in the canopy of other trees. As they mature, they send roots downward that eventually envelop and kill the host tree. In doing so, stranger figs may become columnar trees with a hollow core. This hollow core -- formerly occupied by the host tree -- becomes habitat for a range of other animals, including skunks, raccoons, porcupines, and opossums. Strangler figs can live to be 300 years old and hold over 200 species of plants.
Many of the plants living on a strangler fig are epiphytes -- plants that grow on other plants. As Francisco explains, these plants use trees to reach sunlight, which tends to be scarce in cloud forests. They derive nutrients from moisture, wind, fog, and air. In fact, says Francisco, the name epiphyte means "air plant."
This video was shot in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. This reserve is located in the Central Highlands of Costa Rica at approximately 5,000 feet (1,524 m) above sea level. The air up here is crisp and clean and the biodiversity is incredible. More than 400 species of birds, 100 species of mammals, and 1,200 species of amphibians and reptiles live here. Travelers can explore the cloud forest on one of the many trails that wind through the reserve. There are also suspension bridges and zip-lines available.

A dreamy 50 km cross country paragliding flight from the Makapu'u Lighthouse on the island of Oahu, Hawai'i and along the cloud forest, Wao Akua, or realm of the Gods, in the Ko'olau range, filled with dense jungle, steep cliffs, and rare plants. Gentle air lifted me close to the thousand-metre-high cliffs to be immersed in the atmosphere of mist shrouded giant fern and intoxicating Pandoran jungle sounds.

A cloud forest, also called a fog forest, is a generally tropical or subtropical evergreen montane moist forest characterized by a persistent, frequent or seasonal low-level cloud cover, usually at the canopy level. Cloud forests often exhibit an abundance of mosses covering the ground and vegetation, in which case they are also referred to as mossy forests. Mossy forests usually develop on the saddles of mountains, where moisture introduced by settling clouds is more effectively retained.
Dependent on local climate, which is affected by the distance to the sea, the exposition and the latitude, the altitude varies from 500 m to 4000 m above sea level. Typically, there is a relatively small band of altitude in which the atmospheric environment is suitable for cloud forest development. This is characterized by persistent mist or clouds at the vegetation level, resulting in the reduction of direct sunlight and thus of evapotranspiration. Within cloud forests, much of the precipitation is in the form of fog drip, where fog condenses on tree leaves and then drips onto the ground below.

Costa Rica has dense forests scattered across much of the country. In this video, we explore the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve with naturalist guide Francisco Castro. Along the way, we'll learn about the various interactions among species in the cloud forest.
Strangler figs are a type of tropical tree that germinate in the canopy of other trees. As they mature, they send roots downward that eventually envelop and kill the host tree. In doing so, stranger figs may become columnar trees with a hollow core. This hollow core -- formerly occupied by the host tree -- becomes habitat for a range of other animals, including skunks, raccoons, porcupines, and opossums. Strangler figs can live to be 300 years old and hold over 200 species of plants.
Many of the plants living on a strangler fig are epiphytes -- plants that grow on other plants. As Francisco explains, these plants use trees to reach sunlight, which tends to be scarce in cloud forests. They derive nutrients from moisture, wind, fog, and air. In fact, says Francisco, the name epiphyte means "air plant."
This video was shot in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. This reserve is located in the Central Highlands of Costa Rica at approximately 5,000 feet (1,524 m) above sea level. The air up here is crisp and clean and the biodiversity is incredible. More than 400 species of birds, 100 species of mammals, and 1,200 species of amphibians and reptiles live here. Travelers can explore the cloud forest on one of the many trails that wind through the reserve. There are also suspension bridges and zip-lines available.

In fact, says Francisco, the name epiphyte means "air plant."
This video was shot in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. This reserve is located in the Central Highlands of Costa Rica at approximately 5,000 feet (1,524 m) above sea level. The air up here is crisp and clean and the biodiversity is incredible. More than 400 species of birds, 100 species of mammals, and 1,200 species of amphibians and reptiles live here. Travelers can explore the cloud forest on one of the many trails that wind through the reserve. There are also suspension bridges and zip-lines available.

A dreamy 50 km cross country paragliding flight from the Makapu'u Lighthouse on the island of Oahu, Hawai'i and along the cloud forest, Wao Akua, or realm of the Gods, in the Ko'olau range, filled with dense jungle, steep cliffs, and rare plants. Gentle air lifted me close to the thousand-metre-high cliffs to be immersed in the atmosphere of mist shrouded giant fern and intoxicating Pandoran jungle sounds.
