Over the last twenty-five Years, Francisco Lopez has developed an astonishing sonic universe that is absolutely personal and iconoclastic, and based on a profound listening of the world. His work destroys boundaries between industrial sounds and wilderness sound environments, shifts with passion from the limits of perception to the most dreadful abyss of sonic power, and proposes a blind, profound and transcendental listening, freed from the imperatives of knowledge and open to sensory and spiritual expansion.
"Between what we can hear and what we can see are frequencies that surround us every day. They come from electrical systems in ships, the sun, cars, weather patterns, the subway, radio, and countless other sources. Every day, every hour, and everywhere, they change." Using a single sideband shortwave receiver and electronics, Todd Merrell will search the airwaves for the electrical fingerprints of Issue Project Room on July 18, and transform these electromagnetic waves into an immersive, musical soundscape, an impression of what Issue Project Room sounds and feels like electrically and musically, on that day, in that hour.
