Francisco Lopez - Untitled Single Piece 1

My intuition tells me that Francisco Lopez' music probably isn't well suited to a 7" record. His pieces are typically rather long, bracketed with silence on either side, and made up of extremely subtle extremes of tone and volume that are best reproduced by CD or digital file so that the medium doesn't interfere. Lopez must have thought of that as well, and wrote a sequence of five short "Untitled Single Piece" works, four of which were released on 7" vinyl records. Naturally, pops and surface noise are audible, but they sound like they belong amid these two sides of low throb. Released by Drone Records in 1996.
