Artist info

Over the last twenty years Francisco Lopez has been creating a
unique powerful sonic world, 'trying to reach an ideal of absolute
concrete music'. Through what he once called 'the exploration
of the universe of broad-band noise from the real world', his music
arises from the processing of environmental recordings. In deep
contrast to the classical soundscape movement, his vast activity
doing field recordings all over the world (nearly 40 countries in five
continents) never pursued a documentary or representational goal,
but a dramatically opposite object sonore perspective. And in this
sense, the evolution of his aesthetics and conceptual background
is a profound process of refinement towards an extreme musical
purism, with a voluntary and forceful refusal of any visual,
procedural, relational, semantic, functional or virtuosistic
elements. What is left is an astonishingly powerful musical essence
capable of reaching both the deepest and most dreadful abysms of
crude strengthness and the most subtle and diffuse aural edges;
a complex territory of anti fast-listening where perceptual awareness
and the power of naked music are strikingly rediscovered; a world
where things are uneasy, unclear, unsolved and where one is forced
to inmerse and search. He calls it belle confusion.
