Anima Ardens (CD)

Francisco López - Anima Ardens (CD)
The new organic soundtrack creation by Francisco López inspired by trance rituals.
In constant nudity, which highlights the diversity of their bodies and origins, eleven men, eleven dancers throw themselves, body and soul, into this Anima Ardens or “Burning Breath,” surrounded by the organic sound environments of Francisco López Trance rituals or in shamanic trance, taking us out of ourselves, to the source of our emotions.
Francisco López (born 1964 in Madrid) is internationally recognized as one of the major figures of the sound art and experimental music scene. For more than thirty-five years he has developed an astonishing sonic universe, absolutely personal and iconoclastic, based on a profound listening of the world. Destroying boundaries between industrial sounds and wilderness sound environments, shifting with passion from the limits of perception to the most dreadful abyss of sonic power, proposing a blind, profound and transcendental listening, freed from the imperatives of knowledge and open to sensory and spiritual expansion. He has realized hundreds of concerts, projects with field recordings, workshops and sound installations in over seventy countries of the six continents. His extensive catalog of sound pieces (with live and studio collaborations with over 150 international artists) has been released by more than 350 record labels and publishers worldwide. He has been awarded four times with honorary mentions at the competition of Ars Electronica Festival and is the recipient of the Qwartz Award 2010 for best sound anthology.
