About this soundscape

A ten-string Andean instrument plays over sweeping drones that fill the whole frequency range. The track, Andean Ascension, lasts twenty-three minutes and has an atmospheric, far-away feel.

Andean music comes from the mountains of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Chile. This piece is about cycles and the rhythm of life, which makes it a good fit for reflection, a short meditation or a calm break in the day.
