初期の秀逸録音が150部限定で初作品化!!パッケージデザインも素晴らしい!!活動を開始した80年代初頭からほぼ10年間は安価なウォークマンとカセットプレーヤーしか使用していなかったという、現在はサウンドアート系の重鎮として超有名なフランシスコ・ロペス。氏が音源リリースを開始した80年代中期~後半の1987年にマドリードで録音されていた初期サウンドソースを再編集&リマスター、初出のCD音源として作り上げたのが本作。安価なレコーダーを駆使し作り上げたチープな質感が妙にスリリングであり、現在の作風には無い異様なフェティシズムも発見出来ます。1時間ノンストップという構成も見事。ブルーのフォルダータイプ・スリーブ、ハンドナンバリング入り。



Limited to 150 copies in a night-blue folder type sleeve, handnumbered and signed in silver ink.

Francisco López is internationally recognized as one of the major figures of the sound art and experimental music scene. For almost forty 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 environmental 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 hundreds of international artists) has been released by nearly 400 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.

Created at Messor Studios (Madrid) in 1987.
Re-edited and remastered at ‘Hundred Islands Studios’ (Rosclave enclave) in 2022.
