"Wide and diverse selection of several short pieces, composed by this prolific Spanish
musician during 2006 and 2007. It features quite a variety of sonic materials, from very
atmospheric to quite fast-paced, and everything in between, including pieces made with
recordings from planes, a piece for an instrumental ensemble, etc. The whole is quite
cohesive and strong work, very characteristic and intense.
López says that all his works are trying to reach an ideal of absolute musique concréte, but in
his point of view all are different, as can be seen with the piece commissioned by the MAE
chamber ensemble, a piece dedicated toGeorge Antheil. López' aim overrides the linear
documentation of travels by presenting his own attitude to the sound of location. This album
contains the wide overview of his work, showing the great variety of field recordings as well as
compositions based on source materials by Rapoon, Tomas Phillips and Lawrence English
among others."
