New CD release: “Untitled #284” by Francisco López


Crónica is proud to present its latest CD release, “untitled #284″ by Francisco López.

Behind every image, something has disappeared. And that is the source of its fascination. Behind virtual reality in all its forms […] the real has disappeared. And that is what fascinates everyone. According to the official version, we worship the real and the reality principle, but — and this is the source of the current suspense — is it, in fact, the real we worship, or its disappearance?
Jean Baudrillard, Why hasn’t everything already disappeared?, translated by Chris Turner, Seagull Books 2009.

“untitled #284” was created in 2011 by extensive evolutionary transformation of original environmental recordings made in Lisbon during the year of 1992. These sources were recovered for a commission of the Teatro Municipal Maria Matos, where the composition was premiered on 16 July 2011.

“untitled #284” is now available directly from Crónica or from selected retailers and online distributors.
