Another installment from the Fario label in their attempt to bring together two artists. Usually these CDs consist of three tracks: one  collaborative track and one by each artist solo. For this fifth CD two Vital Weekly household names show up: Francisco Lopez and Steve Roden. Let is discuss the solo pieces first. In Roden's solo piece, the rubbing and playing of everyday objects is the central point of attention. It seems an extension to his work 'Schindler House', which was released last year, at least the title refers to this. It starts out with Lopezian silence, but over the course of sixteen minutes the sound grows thicker and thicker, and Roden adds drone like sounds to the acoustic sounds, thus creating a whole world, full of sound. Francisco Lopez claims to have recorded his most quitest piece to date with 'Untitled #129'. The first fifteen or so minutes I didn't hear a thing. Then slowly and softly some sort of mechanical sound comes in, which (volume still full open) subtly rubes away. After that has disappeared, a very low end rumble comes in and one even has to turn the volume down a bit. Silence again. Lopez once again stretches the whole idea of music and how to present it, in a rather extreme way. When teaming up together for their collaboration piece, they combine the sounds of rubbing objects with the sound material of Lopez (air conditionors, machine hum, environment hiss), which is luckily more present volume wise then his solo work. The two different elements work quite well and take a beautiful shape in your shape when it unfolds over these eighteen minutes. These two guys really are likeminded people, each searching for their own unusual sound input, but which as a result seem to be a good match.
