LOPEZ, FRANCISCO & CARLOS VILLENA — Untitled #229 / Eozo�n

"The other tape is a split with Carlos Villena. Lopez as well Villena uses field-recordings from nature. Both musicians create a quiet atmosphere by the sounds of water, crickets, ducks and other animals. Lopez repeats some sounds and edited them in a small ways, so the natural sound becomes more stylized in a minimal ways. He creates a flow of sounds, but he decides not fade away and fade into the other parts of the composition, but he does a cut between these parts, as if the different fields are not connected with each other. The tape side of Villena starts noisy with strong water sounds and becomes in first sight more and more abstract and later on more relaxed and calm. Great tape with subtile edited field recordings."
