about

'VirtuAural Electro-­Mechanics'
(machinic pieces 1995 – 2018)

About the first piece of this compilation, originally commissioned for the 25th anniverssary of the Sónar Festival in 2018:

"Internationally acclaimed for the intensity, richness and astonishing audio detail of his live immersive surround performances in the dark, sound artist and composer Francisco López has created yet another magnum sonic tour de force in his new ‘VirtuAural Electro-Mechanics’. A creation developed from a myriad of original sound recordings of mechanical machines, electro-mechanical systems and industrial environments gathered over the past 25 years all over the world; from food factories to “white rooms”, from 18th-century automata to computers, from wood and wires to magnetism, from the microscopic to the monumental. Resulting from a massive process of evolution, recombination and spatialization of these materials; merging the “real” with the rise of a new breed of unexistent, magnified, dramatically hyper-real machines; this gargantuan multi-layered creature is all about an extraordinary ontological sonic experience of VirtuAurality in the dark that will put you at the core of The archetypal machine."

Physical edition supported by the MOP Foundation, the Monomedia Institute and Stroom Den Haag.
