about

Azoic zone is the first work published on CD by Francisco López (Geometrik Records 1993). A work with the collaboration of many musicians from the 90´s electronic network like David Myers, Illusion of Safety, Scot Konzelmann, John Hudak, Michael Gendreau,John Wiggings, Richard Franecki, Minoy Steve Peters, and Zan Hoffman. Azoic Zone is a sonic experience inspired by the organisms of abyssal zones. A journey to an unknown world where the physical phenomena and the developoment of life processes follow aberrant guidelines of a crushing beauty. The profundity, the cold, the isolation of these underwater depths are reflected in a starling way in Azoic Zone, a work on life and death beyond the know world. Azoic Zone is for most of the first Lopez followers one of his best works, where elements of his personal style can be found, even if in Azoic Zone we can also find certain traces of the post industrial music. Those who have known this artist from Madrid in the last years have now the opportunity of obtaining this basic work in his discography.

FRANCISCO LÓPEZ is internationally recognized as one of the major figures of the sound art and experimental music scene. For almost forty 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. He has realized hundreds of concerts, projects with environmental recordings, workshops and sound installations in over seventy countries of the six continents. He has been awarded four times with honorary mentions at the competition of Ars Electronica Festival and is the recipient of the Qwartz Award 2010 for best sound anthology.
