By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 30 August 2021

If anything, this lengthy, four-track recording of miasmic, buzzing drone and minimalist linear formatting resurrects the original AD motivators but recontextualizes them […]

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 27 August 2021

Another strong release from Francisco López, the very prolific sound artist whose passion and headstrong ways often lead him to make grand gestures and pronouncements, along with the music.
