Radia #1065 - Echoes of a Promenade. Presque Rien, Tout à Côté

Members of Radia, the international group of independent cultural radio stations, explore new and forgotten ways of making radio.

Non-linear fragments from an afternoon tracing the northern coastline of Tenerife.
Casual conversations between two friends — about everything and nothing — dissolve into echoes of an impromptu jam session from later that same week. Layered throughout are scattered field recordings: wind, footsteps, passing voices, and the distant roar of La Palma’s Cumbre Vieja volcano, captured during its 2021 eruption and interwoven with snippets of local radio.

What emerges is a strangely coherent dérive — a collage of conversation, environmental textures, and informal improvisation. A radio piece that doesn’t tell a story so much as wander through one.
Echoes of a promenade. Presque rien, tout à côté.

Recorded in Tenerife, May 2025.
All music by Paskali and Gonçalo, except a short loop sampled from "Montes Caucasus" by Andreas Tilliander & Goran Kajfeš.
Edited by Gonçalo F. Cardoso, Tenerife 2025.
