Evolved, composed, recorded and mastered by Francisco López at ‘mobile messor’ (Madrid, Bucharest, Montreal), spring - summer 2006.
PLEASE NOTE:
This piece contains sections with extensive silence and quasi-silence. These are compositional, aesthetic, and explicitly intentional elements that are integral to the audio piece. Their extent and characteristics will vary according to the speakers/headphones used.
Many thanks to all the participating artists, Quartier Éphémère, and Cécile Martin.
