“There are numerous unidentified sounds here, and that’s one thing that’s always been so frustrating about Lopez’s work. He forces us to create our own truth, our own representation. You would imagine that not treating his sounds would clarify matters, yet to some extent it does the opposite, and the listener is left with added pressure attempting to identify whether it’s mother nature or animal or something in between. Sometimes though all you can do is make an educated guess and move on. This too is part of the joy of this piece, in a world where there is so much information about almost everything; mystery can become quite a pleasurable experience.”
