Description

Slowly shifting ronroco patterns — both melodic and percussive — create a panoramic acoustic texture inspired by phasing techniques. Small variations and gradual harmonic shifts unfold across the landscape, punctuated by deep upright bass notes and brief swells from a passionate string section.

The ronroco, an Andean string instrument related to the guitar, carries the repeating figures while the harmonies slowly drift and realign.

Quiet, spacious, and cinematic.

Inspired by this haiku:

beyond the talus
withering in the valley —
a hanging glacier
