Electronica Iberica

The Iberian “sound shamans” Francisco López and Rafael Toral are among the most renowned representatives of the international electronics scene. Both have for many years explored the “depths” of the vast worlds of sound and noise.

Played in profound darkness and making use of a sophisticated multi-channel projection, Francisco López’ music allows us to immerse ourselves in unique acoustic developments. Sources of sound from all over the world form the basis of his virtual and extremely dynamic sound spaces.

Rafael Toral undertakes to create a “universal” music by producing, with the aid of various sensors, sounds that are closely linked to a genuine kind of physicalness. Space Studies forms part of a series of pieces that concentrate on very strict but nevertheless open arrangements of sound and silence − in the words of Toral: “post free jazz electronic music”.
