Anechoic Chamber Episode 7 - Francisco Lopez - a podcast by Thomas Bey William Bailey

Welcome to episode 7 of Anechoic Chamber, free form audio from the margins of arts and culture. Our guest for this edition is Francisco López, who as of this recording is celebrating 40 years of what he has called sonogenic composition. Over this time, López has carved out an almost unparalleled reputation as a bioacoustic researcher and as a champion of sound's phenomenological, non-representational qualities, while being critical of conceptual uses for the same. Equally at home using sonic material from the rainforest or the factory, while also being equally adept at exploring the qualities of overwhelming noise or seductive silence, López remains one of the principal authorities on the extremes of sonic perception and how they inform all that lies in between. Though he is often noted for the supposed"novelty value"accorded to his rejection on the concert stage, this is only one aspect of a fully integrated philosophy of sound, which we hope to unveil in this broadcast.
