Köllt (2004)
Visual and music action in abundance
Francisco López. Over the last 12 years, a lot has been said about this artist; and it's all good. Specially since he launched Azoic Zone´s publication. What else could it be said in this modest space? Well, that his music is not too suitable to become your mobile phone ring tone, and that his presence at this year´s LEM (his third) will bring together his multicoloured music (concrete, absolute, essential, intense, catharsis wise...) and Köllt, a DVD production made in conjunction with filmmaker Jorge Simonet for Asphodel: "An unstoppable flow, as energetic as intense. Visual and music action in abundance. For speedcore and nature lovers". It´s the kind of spectacle you'd never come across on a Saturday night TV show. Suitable for everyone but there's one requisite to meet: to have a broadband mind´. - Review from Barcelona International Experimental Music LEM Festival. September 2004 -
Untitled #91 (2002)
A landmark in minimal art and sound
Reissue of the López sound piece from 1999 - a masterfully crafted journey to the threshold of audiability. This new DVD version contains a new film by Jorge Simonet, which is based on the original sound work. Equally stunning in its extremely subtle presentation, the film is an abstract immersive and sonic experience challenging the limits of perception. A landmark in minimal art and sound, matched with a white digipak, white disc surface, and sparse light grey text. If not the most minimal film in history, this is certainly the most minimal music video ever! Francisco López is known the world over for his work, which spans field recordings, ambient textures and extreme minimalism and has releases on numerous US, European, Japanese, and Australian labels. Jorge Simonet has collaborated previously with Francisco López on "Untitled (1998)," which featured time-lapse sky photography. Other films of his include Trailer (1997) and The Controls Aren't Responding (1993). - Original review from an experimental music website when the DVD was released in 2002 -
