ART’S BIRTHDAY PARTY 2022
Susana López uses hybrid methodologies, combining analogue and digital elements, using voices, field recordings, handmade instruments, synthesizers and drum machines. In her compositions and performances she processes all these different sound materials through the notions of exploration, repetition, distortion and duration. Her works allow the listener to enter into a form of trance, generating a mantra that makes it possible to reach other sensory experiences. The result is a ritualistic music that invites active listening.

“NachtMusik” introduces us to a dark, pulsating atmosphere that very gradually envelops the listener, creating an increasingly unstable and disturbing mass of sound. Its unstoppable evolution always develops in several layers, each of which presents great autonomy. This dynamism provokes in the listener a continuous questioning of whether we are experiencing a paradigmatic example of “drone music”, or if these apparently static sounds have attained a vitality that transcends that stylistic demarcation, and rather invites us -simply but radically- to submerge ourselves in the flow of sound and to abandon ourselves through this listening experience.

We face, indeed, a “Nachtmusik”, that is to say, a “Night Music”, in which the echoes of a pulsating and constant rhythm (not far from a heartbeat), remind us that certain compositions can (and perhaps should) be considered as something strangely similar to a living being.
