a bunch of stuff (1980-2020) - 40 years of sonogenic composition

by francisco lópez

supported by

mikehoolboom Recent curator of brilliant Audiosphera exhibition, Lopez applies the same time frame and approach to his own work, clipping excerpts from 137 tracks. In place of the long form immersive dives, this is Lopez in sound bites, with many of his "periods" well represented - his sub-basement industrial drones, his exquisite field recordings, his musique concrete reworkings. This one is a must.

about

‘a bunch of stuff (1980-2020)’ - 40 years of sonogenic composition

“A gigantic compilation with 138 excerpts from selected audio pieces created over the past four decades by the master of ‘sonogenic composition’. An up-to-date López’s ‘reader’ in sound for newcomers and experts alike. A compendium organized in unheard-of and revealing ‘themes’/genres of Lopezian making, such as ‘Delusional Cinematic’, ‘Lo-Fi Broad-Band Tape Noiselationism’, ‘Medium With No Message’, ‘Nice Noise’, ‘Sonic Seeds and Mega-Evolution’, ‘The Ultra-Quiet, Not Conceptual’, or ‘Within the Noosphere’... a vast self-sufficient audio universe of astonishing audio detail and intricacy to dive in and explore with full ‘proud monomedia’ listening spirit.”
[Pedro Higueras, Sonom Studios]
