Somewhere in the dungeons of the archives of this festival's history are kept two or three more episodes of local festivalgoers who also got lost among the approximately eight kilometers of kahili ginger and caves that make up the Janela do Inferno trail. Therefore, it is not up to us to judge the sense of direction of an artist perhaps much more used to lugging synthesizers through night clubs in the Netherlands. It was Márcio Laranjeira (programmer and co-founder of the festival) who told us this story about the musician Jacco Gardner in the first Tremor Todo-o-Terreno (2017):
«The first trail we did was the Janela do Inferno trail. And Jacco Gardner had a very old cell phone that almost never had reception. He had asked to explore the trail alone, so we agreed that after an hour he would call me and I would pick him up at the meeting point. The agreed time came, and he didn’t call me. I called him and he didn't answer. I immediately began to think: “He got lost. The guy got lost!”. I decided to go to the trail and I was like a father chasing a child in a supermarket screaming: “Jacco! Jacco!”. I started to get worried. He could have fallen or tripped, at one point I even doubted if I would ever find him. Suddenly, in the middle of the trail, I found him sitting very calmly, and he says to me: “Look, I got lost. But I knew the best thing I could do was to stand still and stay here until someone found me.” So, from what I understand, he stayed there for about an hour and a half, quietly sitting on a rock, until I found him.»
