Go to the Francisco López website  Francisco López - Untitled #180 [Alien8 Recordings - 2006]

Francisco López  paints  hyper reality audio paintings or maybe huge more convincing versions of those 3D laser pictures from the late 1980’s. Sound and noise elements are cut up and throw back in your face,Or you drift on gossamer like threads, through slow unwinding caverns of sound, always weary you might drop to the caverns floor hundreds of feet bellow.

Untitled #180 is a 45 minute piece that starts off in high gear with rain sound, and sudden cut up and echoed down tunnels,smashing and throwing sound tones. It’s almost feels like watching a huge glass  beast smashing it’s way past your watching place. Then you get  the feeling of dropping down and down into a vast cathedral like cavern, strange things surfacing from the water bellow, before driving back into the junk cover water. Before long the sound dies down to a low subterranean hum, that  in time builds, before another attack, almost making you jump as  if strange and surreal creatures made of every day objects like car windscreens, bent bed frames and misalliance junk, rears out of the darkness. And so the rest of the piece makes it way out, dwelling between the tow worlds of hype cut sounds and low hum and dank ambience. To me it has more than a little nod towards gothic cinematics, with all manner of windy moor in the storm noise, killer staking victim crunch and breath, creaking doors and of course thunder and lighting.

López like fellow sound KK Null explorer paints vivid and sharpe sound paintings, but unlike KK Null, López world seems more treating and ready to rear up and swallow you whole.To hear a sample and buy direct go to here.
