Untitled #352

Created from original environmental sound matter recorded at the Régie de Chauffage Urbain / RCU (urban boiler plant facility) in Fontenay-sous-Bois, near Paris: (1) Mutated into a myriad of sonic layers and composed for the audio-only installation- performance soundtrack [*] of the choreographic project ‘Exposure’ by Anne Collod [**]. Premiered for blindfolded audiences at the RCU as part of the Biennale de Danse du Val-de-Marne 2017. (2) Selected complex layers further evolved and distilled into extensive electric mantras (‘MANTRAcks’). Headphones and dedicated listening highly recommended. Occasional apparent digital clipping is a deliberate aesthetic decision. Composed, mixed and mastered at ‘mobile messor’ (Den Haag, Dublin, Paris) and Dune Studio (Loosduinen), 2016-2017. Special thanks to Barbara Ellison. (c) francisco lópez 2017 [*] This release features a stereo mixdown version of the original 46-channel piece.
