“The fall is inevitable. Learning how to collapse is essential.”
Canciones del Fin is the third release on Tesorito and the second work by Ross, a Medellín-based sound artist, central figure in Colombia’s ambient and experimental scene, and head of the pioneering label Ediciones Eter.
Consisting of five hypnotic pieces that unfold like fragile lullabies for the Earth’s final sleep, the record operates as a soundtrack for the last day of mountains and valleys, of rivers and breath, of all that once lived. It sounds like a luminous forest at dusk: intimate and trembling, inhabited by glowing beings, quivering flowers, and birds retreating to their nests—never to awaken again.
“Canciones del Fin” emerges as an Anthropocene reverie, cultivated within the quiet, private grief of the 21st century. Unafraid of the beauty inherent in death, chaos, and emptiness, this tender and aching work invokes the ghosts of disappearing landscapes—places that will vanish, yet continue to resonate in the silence left behind.
