Vital Review:
FRANCISCO LOPEZ - UNTITLED (1993) (CD by Staalplaat)

Here we have the sequel to the 3" CD released some time ago by
Staalplaat. Presented on this new one are five live works by one of
the most austere composers of our time. All recordings were made in
the USA in 1993 and in this case Lopez was assisted by other
illustrious contemporary composers, such as Michael Gendreau, Zan
Hoffman, John Hudak and Gen Ken Montgomery, Michael Northam and Steve
Peters. And not surprisingly, the pieces sound somewhat different
than Lopez's solo works. Strangely enough though, it's near to
impossible for me to describe exactly how they are different, because
at first 'glance' they sound like normal Lopez pieces: soft drones,
woven together from environmental recordings. Yet there is a very
subtle 'otherness' to the sound, probably due to the collaboration
with others. There seems to be a lightness to most of these
recordings, which is probably due to the addition of sound material
from the others. This results in very gentle and convincing works
with a mesmerizing character, something to enjoy thoroughly. A very
good release. (MR)
