Borderless Currents II: La Massana

This recording happened during a hike from La Massana to Andorra la Vella – a descent that threads through a landscape suspended between the ancient and the untouched. The trail begins at the San Ermengol plateau and carries you through orchards, past Romanesque stone bridges, and alongside streams that seem to exist in both past and present. It’s not just a path – it’s a slow and dramatic unveiling.
Along the way, there are sonic treasures that reveal themselves to those who pause and listen: reflections bouncing from the mountains, walls of sound, subterranean gurgles under mossy stones, and sudden shifts in frequency that mark where human traces yield to nature’s authority. In places, you truly feel outside of time, unburdened by city rhythms or modern noise.
Despite its short duration, to me this piece feels like an emotional imprint of the trail – a guide for navigating between worlds, both physical and psychological.
A brief surrender to something deeper than direction, more of a state than a place.
