"This 2 CD set gathers two compositions each by Michael Gendreau and Francisco Lopez.
TDDM is based on sound materials recorded in factories in Asia.
The 2 Michael Gendreau tracks focus on factories sound environment meanwhile Francisco
Lopez works more on machinery and engines. The result is a strong and intense body of work,
a total immersion into industrial estates sounds. This isn't a work on microsound or lowercase
music but a real physical experience.
Michael Gendreau (San Francisco), former member of the underground duo Crawling with
Tarts, studied composition at Mills College and now works as an acoustician specialized in
machinery vibration isolation and environmental noise studies (among other things). He
releases now his works under his own name.
Francisco Lopez (Madrid) : "Francisco López is internationally recognized as one of the
major figures of the underground experimental music scene. Over the last twenty five 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."
[Pedro Higueras, Sonom Studios]" (Sonoris)
