about

The river Duero/Douro stands as a natural monument, a liquid pyramid that transcends our
individual mortality. The recordings captured along its course are but small memories of its
timeless journey; aural slices of a continuous natural cycle.
Picos de Urbión, the source of its earthly journey, is a glacier-carved mountain massif in the
Spanish provinces of Soria and Burgos. At 2228 meters of altitude, its peak is one of the highest
points in the Sistema Ibérico (Iberian System), the main system of mountain ranges in Spain.
"Picos de Urbión, the source of the Duero" is a composition of field recordings captured in
May 2013, throughout the area, focusing on the Duero and its delicate, yet brutal descent. High
in the mountain, a landscape covered with snow begins to melt, giving place to small streams
which gradually combine into a fierce body of water, descending through forests, stopping at
lagoons, encountering small villages.
The natural setting is breathtaking.
