and/OAR couldn't be more pleased to present the third part of Spanish
sound artist Francisco López's already classic "trilogy of the Americas"
which started with La Selva, followed by Buildings [New York] (both
released by V2 Archief, Netherlands).
An immersion into the sonic matter from micro- and macro-
environments dominated by wind in Patagonia. A vast barren space
shaped and inhabited by the ever-changing forces of unmuted plants,
rocks, sand, snow, and ice. An irregular broad-band environment of
relentless strength and richness. And above all, a tour de force of
profound listening.
López’s Patagonian winds have a ferocious beauty and immensity.
Delicate whispers combine with wild swarms and eddies undergirded by
deep bass punches. And all of this produced by an invisible force that
endlessly sweeps the surface of the globe. With this, we are no longer
in the tidy world of human music, but have entered the sublime domain of
natural sound. (Christoph Cox).
Packaged in a super gloss digipak with 16 page 4 color booklet.
