michael gendreau and francisco lopez: split lp

francisco lopez is perhaps best known for his dynamic studio and live performances that sway between crushing silence and dynamic, shifting volume swells. over the course of 25 years, lopez has developed and honed a refined audio lexicon. michael gendreau entered the experimental sound community in the early 1980s with his project crawling with tarts. as a solo artist, gendreau caught everyone’s attention with the 2002 release of his cd 55 pas de la ligne, composed of recordings based on old turntables and one-of-a-kind lps.

for this lp, gendreau, a trained acoustician, used extremely refined microphones -- designed for acoustic and vibrational research -- to record sounds such as turntable motor hum, belts, and run out grooves on records more than 70 years old. his side is an incredible journey through a forest of alternately prickly and soothing sounds. lopez used similar source material for his side, creating a refined oceanic wall of sound constructed from crackle, hum, and scratches.

this lp is in a numbered edition of 500 copies and signed by both artists.

21039-2 cd

crawling with tarts
ochre land, blue blue skies/ grand surface noise opera nr. 7

long overdue, long promised release. this may be the last tarts track (and opera) and one of the first solo composed gendreau recordings. or i could be making that all up. anyway, wonderful music and sounds - it is a crawling with tarts opera and olbbs is a killer.

a musician since age 6, gendreau went along to work with several group organizations, culminating in crawling with tarts (1983-1998), and using this group as a medium (along with the various uses made of it by co-founder suzanne dycus) for work in elementalism, attention to temporal and environmental persistence, and eventually, applications of parataxis.

these final studies included the use of small motors and turntable mechanisms, mostly performing with one-off transcription discs cast by others in the middle of the last century, or cut in gendreau's studio using a decrepit lathe. more recently, in composition and performance, gendreau has sought to enlarge these later studies, adding physical parameters of performance spaces (as a point of reference, based on studies in physics completed in 1989 and current work as an acoustician-primarily working on low-vibration design in buildings and noise impact to optical research apparatus in the infrasonic to audible frequency range) as a language within the paratactic structures that form his compositions.
