Francisco López & Miguel A. García’s “Ekkert Nafn” reviewed by NOmelody Magazine

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 18 December 2021

Dos nombres ineludibles de la música experimental patria, Francisco López y Miguel A. García, elaboran un trabajo en el que estudia la estética del sonido, utilizado como materia prima grabaciones de campo procesadas concienzudamente con la intención de generar escenarios acústicos que sorprenden por su ejemplar vistosidad.  Existen discos que se alejan deliberadamente de las […]

Francisco López’s “DSB” reviewed by The Sound Projector

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. Today on DSB (CRONICA 166-2021) he is reiterating – absolutely verbatim – the claims made for a 2018 release untitled#360 for the Emitter Micro label in Berlin, and noted here. The […]

Francisco López & Miguel A. García’s “Ekkert Nafn” reviewed by African Paper

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 29 March 2021

Francisco López und sein auch unter dem Namen Xedh bekannter Kollege Miguel A. García sind leidenschaftliche Versteckspieler, stets auf der Suche nach alltäglichen Geräuschen mit interessierter Kehrseite, oder nach dem Potenzial dessen, was man herkömmlichen akustischen und elektronischen Instrumenten entlocken kann. Versteckspieler sind sie deshalb, weil bei ihnen selten Klänge in wiedererkennbarer Form ihren Weg […]

Francisco López’s “DSB” reviewed by Freq

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 10 March 2021

There’s a quality that some music has of being like an old friend. I’ve not listened to any new Francisco López in a decade or more but the ’00s CDs of his I have get a fairly frequent spin. Those CDs tended towards a kind of quietism — usually called Untitled [n] and largely a kind of textural building […]

Francisco López’s “DSB” reviewed by Felthat

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 1 March 2021

Francisco Lopez is a man institution. Creatively active in the field recording and musique concrete, he elevated the art of both to something completely different. His newest album is no different but definitely somewhat of a surprise.  The processing of the field recordings is his trademark – you might be surprised how nuanced and elaborate […]

New release: Francisco López’s “DSB”

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 16 February 2021

This is not music? Says who? Try to imagine an astonishing reversal of the traditional widespread subservience of sound to storytelling: instead of sound effects providing realism to a narrative, the open shell of an apparent narrative becoming sound work… or perhaps even a new form of weird experimental music that only requires a willingness […]

Francisco López’s “DSB” reviewed by Aural Aggravation

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 11 February 2021

From the very opening seconds, Francisco López’s latest offering assails the ears and scorches the brain: the first track – which hits the magical running time of twenty-three minutes – is nothing short of explosive – literally. Opening with a roaring blast of brutal harsh noise, it soon separates into a series of samples and […]
