Francisco López

Francisco López is internationally known as one of the major figures of the sound art and experimental music scene. Over the past 30 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 as well as spiritual expansion.

He has realized hundreds of concerts, projects with field recordings, workshops and sound installations in 60 different countries on all the five continents. His extensive catalogue of sound pieces (including live and studio collaborations with over 130 international artists) has been released by more than 200 record labels worldwide. He has been awarded with honorary mentions at the competition of the Ars Electronica Festival three times and is the recipient of the Qwartz Award 2010 for best sound anthology.
