    Francisco López & Xabier Erkizia ‎– Elektra Bidasoa

    Label: Ferns Recordings ‎– stem_02
    Format: CD
    Country: France
    Released: 15 Sep 2011
    Style: Field Recording

    A collaborative project between two seasoned sound artists dedicated to a profound listening of sonic phenomena. Created with original recordings from power plants along the Bidasoa river in the Basque Country, Erkizia and López have built vivid straighforward and transformed sound environments from a myriad hums, rattles, crackles, and drones from the wide variety of machinery and industrial electrical facilities inside the power plants. A macro and microscopic journey into a detailed and crisp virtual sound world from the generation of electricity.

    Francisco López And Miguel A. Ruiz – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack From The Film “La Primera Aventura De Cekoni Y Conike” (The First Adventure Of Cekoni And Conike)

    Label: Ediciones Toracic – TD 40
    Format: CDr, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered
    Country: Spain
    Released: Aug 2014
    Style: Abstract, Experimental, Industrial

    Reissue cassette published in 1990

    Miguel A. Ruiz (Michel Des Airlines), a hero of post-industrial electronic music in Madrid since the early ‘80s with his legendary label Toracic Tapes and his project Orfeón Gagarin, praised by Asmus Tietchens and Esplendor Geométrico.

    Basado originalmente en música creada para una serie de animación eslovaca, nunca exhibida por problemas con el sistema de engranaje del mismísimo “Telón de Acero”, este trabajo es el fruto de una colaboración puntual entre Francisco López y Miguel A.Ruiz, allá por 1990 y publicado en cassette por el sello Toracic Tapes en colaboración con Brobra (extinta empresa dirigida por López a últimos de los 80, desde el corazón de la Amazonia). Nada menos que 28 temas se reparten ambos compositores, a lo largo de casi una hora de duración. Los cortes de Ruiz se distringuen por su carácter sombrío, ambientes ferruginosos y en ocasiones irónicas combinaciones de ritmos extraños y “samples” de la más diversa procedencia,que nos recuerdan a sus cassettes “Halibut Vaporub” y “La Cámara Gamma” .

    En el caso de López los temas que nos ofrece poco tienen que ver con su postura minimalista habitual, pues son ritmicos, a veces desenfrenados, con melodías pegadizas que parecen sacadas de series de dibujos animados, otros tracks tienen ecos de “bossa”, de “jazz”, mezclados con detalles satíricos e inesperados. Un extraño y delicioso viaje en el cual el oyente pasará por diferentes estados de humor y de incertidumbre.

    Grabado en 1990, remasterizado en 2014 en Estudios Toracic.

    Francisco López

    Francisco López

    Francisco López is internationally recognized as one of the major figures of the sound art and experimental music scene. For more than thirty-five years he has developed an astonishing sonic universe, absolutely personal and iconoclastic, based on a profound listening of the world. Destroying boundaries between industrial sounds and wilderness sound environments, shifting with passion from the limits of perception to the most dreadful abyss of sonic power, proposing a blind, profound and transcendental listening, freed from the imperatives of knowledge and open to sensory and spiritual expansion.

    He has realized hundreds of concerts, projects with field recordings, workshops and sound installations in over seventy countries of the six continents. His extensive catalog of sound pieces (with live and studio collaborations with over 150 international artists) has been released by more than 350 record labels / publishers worldwide. He has been awarded four times with honorary mentions at the competition of Ars Electronica Festival and is the recipient of the Qwartz Award 2010 for best sound anthology.

    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: Spain
    Released: 15 Sep 2011
    Style: Experimental

    Sound artists Francisco López (Spain) and Novi_sad (Greece) have explored
    together the blurred territory between reality and the creation of self-contained sound enviornments through a long process of transformation f sonic materials. Working with the same shared field recordings carried out in the region of Ancient Olympia in Greece, they have created two individual pieces with extreme dynamics, at times obscure and dense, but laden with hidden complexity and a few surprised for the most adventurous listeners.

    B-side. Limited to 300 copies

    Price: 15 Euros

    On “untitled #205”:

    Francisco López states: “Based exclusively on end grooves from vintage records, ‘untitled #205’ is a straightforward and joyful exploration of the potential for eincarnation of these unintended sonic structures into new life. More a tool than a final product, it delves into static, noise and rhythm with a hopeful perspective.”
    The untitled #205 mix on the a-side brings us 18 minutes of hissy, textural
    sound in dissolution, ranging from ryhthm to noise. The b-side has the 20 original loops López constructed out of old vintage 78s so if you buy 20 copies of this 10” you might be able to recreate the track….
