Toxic Archives # 8: Rafael Flores & Francisco López

Video work by Rafael Flores with soundtrack by Francisco López from 1985.

"Olive Days" review by Sascha Renner at Ear Labs

From 1991 to 2001, Rafael Flores reduced musical activity, and was involved with video art, releasing just a very limited soundworks as "friends only" private editions. After a long pause, he returns to editorial activity in 2002.
His new album "olive days", released on the american label zeromoon is a minimalist one of its kind.
Most of the thirteen pieces manage to enthral with one, sometimes two single layers, which have been chosen carefully. This fine selection demonstrates Rafael's experience, adopted during the long time he is making sonic experiments now.
His sounds derive from field-recordings, sinus-tones, distorted crackles and drones, white noise and the like.
There is a strong red thread spinning continuously through his well structured pieces, which captures my attention.
In contrast to the first nine pieces, that were recorded and mixed in the studio, the last four tracks were recorded live at "atv" this year. In o-live1 it appears to me Rafael works with time stretched voice, the second live piece sounds like field-recordings of a room with machines running. o-live4 deals with heavy distorted crackles followed by a dry drone maybe derived from recorded wind.
All in all, Rafael created a very strong and coherent collection of skillfully structured work.

Rafael Flores - Nubes, Cometas, Rumores Y Orugas

Label: Monochrome Vision
Experimental/Electro-acoustic

10 Luders

Maybe a bit late but never too little. Rafael Flores has been doing his thing since 1981 and this compendium of works from 1994-2004 was intended as a silver anniversary of sorts. He certainly deserves to have his work issued for a wider audience as he's worked tirelessly over the years under his own name, as Commando Bruno, and a damn impressive video artist. I remember him from the 80s during the heyday of cassette networking, mail art and his releases on labels such as Tonspur, Esplendor Geometrico's imprint and the inevitable Zan Hoffman mix and mash. The pre-digital good old days.

This collection focuses on his predilection for field recordings and their subsequent treatment and juxtapositioning with other sounds. While Rafael is a serious artist, he's not so austere as to exclude a sense of humor and playfulness in his compositions, not to mention a nod toward the surrealists. 'Clouds, Comets, Rumors and Worms' ain't just noise y'all. Senor Flores knows what he's doing and has as keen an ear as anyone.

The disc kicks off with a thick wash of sound as if your head were trapped inside a gentle wash cycle, while your body experiences catatonia. Then things get sparse and metallic; sparks fly into and out of space and rub against an amplified cable that connects the earth-bound with some other life-form. It's a congenial affair : any ensuing confrontation is of the friendly sort. At least until 'Sanzoot' hits the speakers. A wall of sound is constructed, not of noise but of sonic minutiae including actual identifiable pitches (gasp). From here we get catapulted back into the laundry room to deal with some clever loop work until someone decides to use washing machine's body as a drum. This is a particularly wonderful passage with a bit of an industrial aesthetic; a stellar marriage of timbre and rhythm. 'Para' and '7 Minutillos' bring things down a notch as they grow from some environmental rustling into a digitally-damaged drone that sounds like a sanded cymbal stuck somewhere between Jupiter and Saturn. From here it's like flipping an LP over, but the grooves are filled with short-wave transmissions that sound downright hostile. This piece from 1994 is an uncompromising bit of white noise versus the world, but has a very musical dynamic curve. It segues nicely into some processed analogue synth work from 1997 which is a great track, but frankly sounds a little out of place in this collection. 'Luders' makes for a killer concluding five minutes. It sounds like an old dial-up modem has been doused with gasoline and set abalze. A lovely musical buzzing that I wish I could insert at will during unwanted phone calls.

Rafael's work definitely merits notice. Hopefully this CD release will help him reach a wider audience. I can't stress enough, however, that it's his current work that really demands attention. Get in touch with him for some the finest experimental electronic music around. He's a friendly fellow...tell him I sent you.

Radio Art in Flux
Radio art comprises works created by artists specifically for radio: from sound or noise compositions, radio plays, actions or concerts, sound performances, satellite sound sculptures, soundscapes, radio art installations, networked (media) projects, all the way to electroacoustic or digital music.
Orson Welles: War of the Worlds (Cover)
Auer Family, Kunstradio / ORF Wien, Vienna
Beginning April 27, the exhibition Art on Air in the Weserburg will present an overview of works of radio art. In addition to related radiophone works by individual artists, three series can be viewed that have had an enormous influence on the emergence and development of radio art in Europe and abroad: pro musica nova from Radio Bremen, Studio Akustische Kunst from WDR, and Kunstradio from ORF. The acoustic presentation of radiophone works will be supplemented by videos, records, CDs, cassettes, projections, scores, artist’s books and magazines, as well as numerous documents: photographs, posters, programs, correspondence, conceptual drawings, and invitations.


Radio art moves within the intermediate interdisciplinary area between visual arts, experimental literature, and New Music. Accordingly, radio art will be presented in the exhibition in its visual, acoustic, and documentary contexts. What evolves is a representative insight and overview against the backdrop of technological development with references to current media art. The artists whose work is being presented are also representative, as they belong to different generations and work in various musical, literary, and artistic design contexts: Johannes Auer, the artist group Ligna, Michaela Melian, Christina Kubisch, Felix Kubin, and Carsten Nicolai, as well as Franz Mon, Ferdinand Kriwet, Mauricio Kagel, Wolf Vostell, Carlfriedrich Claus, and John Cage. Their works communicate an idea of the ‘tradition’ of radio art in Germany. John Cage, for example, was not only the driving force for the development of the series pro musica nova, he also contributed in a variety of ways to radio broadcasts and composed works for radio such as Imaginary Landscape No. 4 from 1951. His most important work, Roaratorio, originated in 1979 at WDR.


The Radio Art Archive, which will development over the course of the exhibition, is quite a special innovation: nearly all of the works of radio art or radio broadcasts by the participating artists as well as important radio art series in the German-speaking world will be made available for the first time. It will include all of the relevant forms of radio broadcasts which artists have created with, in, and for radio. A large share of the audio materials is being made available by the artists themselves.

The exhibition clearly shows that the artists’ activities have gone well beyond the technical, institutional, and traditional parameters and concepts of radio.
An exhibition by the Research Center for Artist’s Publications in cooperation with Radio Bremen and ORF Kunstradio Wien, Vienna, funded by the Stiftung Kunstfonds.

Choplin "Tan Enfora"

Choplin (jaume muntsant) nace como dj en 1998, antes de esto había sido miembro de dos grupos, uno punk y otro death metal / grindcore, siempre como cantante, de ahí que esté tan fuertemente influenciado por las sonoridades oscuras y los ambientes siniestros.
En el 2003 nació www.choplinsound.com, una plataforma que servía para dar a conocer los primeros trabajos como productor de choplin. Luego fué cuestión de tiempo el definir el estilo, hasta llegar, ya en 2004 al nacimiento de Hermético, el primer proyecto serio de producción. Un poquito más tarde llegaría el segundo proyecto, "nigul" centrado en el ambient y experimentacion.
En junio de 2004 en colaboración con el Sr.click y DaTo, ponen en marcha el netlabel inoQuo. Actualmente Hermético es el proyecto con más fuerza, y sigue produciendo música para varios netlabels.

Enstruction with Comando Bruno

En general usamos los términos legendaria, pionera o mítica con demasiada ligereza al hablar de determinadas bandas de la escena industrial-experimental.
Pues bien todos esos calificativos se quedan cortos hablando de Enstruction, "cooperativa de audio producción dada-situacionista" nacida en Seattle en 1976.
Uno de los grandes, grandes sin paliativos.
Ni que decir tiene como se sentí cuando me hablaron de colaborar, emocionado no es decir nada.
Un adelanto de este trabajo ya se puede escuchar ya en su Myspace (el primer track del player).
A mi me parece que ha quedado simplemente acojonante.
¿Otra colaboración de altura?, pronto una serie se videos nada menos que con Non Toxique Lost !!!

"Itapoa" remezclado en el nuevo trabajo de Xedh

El nuevo trabajo de de Xedh para Zeromoon "Xedah", contiene una remezla de mi tema Itapoa, originalmente incluído en el net-ep Saint Lazaro´s street tapes, editado por Dreamland Recordings (Australia).

Puede descargarse aquí.

Xedh is Miguel A. García from Spain. From the artist's notes about this piece:
"It's somehow curious to watch in an almost unconscious way how links generate themselves, in this case between people/sounds connected by their escape from more established shapes. The hidden face of one of the most active characters of the most extreme german industrial music, a french critic-poet with the rediscovered sin of youth, and a living legend among the Iberian experimental music scene.
I really was Between them, myself and the intention of a piece which I expected to make them to engage in a dialogue and to exist here and now together: a kind of tribute to the others. But when i tried it, i had to face the impossibility of generating something real without having them transformed, internalized, absorbed, and to finally recognize myself in them too. I couldn't deny myself.
So what this piece brought up was the confrontation between differences, between the other and self, between the foreign and own, the external, the internal, outside, inside, confused to be just one. A piece about being human."

Piece composed by miguel a. garcía (mixer, mics, sines, treated sounds)
Original sounds from:

start > 06:03 : simon daniel, track "second face"
06:03 > 13:07 : thierry massard, track "sube:version"
13:07 > end : rafael flores, track "itapoa"

Mastered by jeff surak

Miguel A. García (aka xedh) is one of the few artists working in the laptop domain that manages to go beyond the sterile audio terrain that many practioners of digital music tend to get lost in and never find a way out. Xedh exploits the pristine frequencies and extreme sonic range...and still ensures that his music has some muscle and perhaps a bit of humor. In his new mp3 ep for zeromoon he uses sounds from a few artists (simon daniel, thierry massard, & rafael flores) and throws in some of his own using a mixer, mics, sine waves, and treated sounds. In his own words: "It's somehow curious to watch in an almost unconscious way how links generate themselves, in this case between people/sounds connected by their escape from more established shapes. The hidden face of one of the most active characters of the most extreme german industrial music, a french critic-poet with the rediscovered sin of youth, and a living legend among the Iberian experimental music scene.
I really was Between them, myself and the intention of a piece which I expected to make them to engage in a dialogue and to exist here and now together: a kind of tribute to the others.

I couldn't deny myself.
So what this piece brought up was the confrontation between differences, between the other and self, between the foreign and own, the external, the internal, outside, inside, confused to be just one. A piece about being human." Sounds good to me, now go get it.

Son of Bronson me ponen fino

En una estrevista, sin desperdicio, en Putearte.com los geniales Son of Bronson, dicen estas cosilllas de mi:

T- De colaboraciones, hay una en perspectiva, que son unas remezclas para Rafael Flores, que es un personaje mítico de la música experimental en España, que después de unos años desaparecido en combate, ha vuelto con unas ganas tremendas, está hiperactivo, y nos hincha de orgullo que le haya gustado lo que hacemos y habrá unas remezclas pronto de Rafael Flores, a partir de canciones de Comando Bruno, su proyecto.

JB- A mi particularmente me llenó de una grandísima alegría, y lo digo sin ningún tipo de ironía, saber que Rafael Flores estaba en activo, que nos había escuchado, y que le había gustado, habiendo escuchado cosas de él de los años 80, que me parecen extraordinarias, de lo mejor que se ha hecho en música experimental en España pero desde siempre.

Gracias Jesús y Tonete, la admiración es reciproca.

Review at Heathen Harvest

Artist: Rafael Flores
Title: Nubes, Cometas, Rumores Y Orugas
Label: Monochrome Vision

Experimental/Electro-acoustic

02 Oidoor 1

10 Luders

Maybe a bit late but never too little. Rafael Flores has been doing his thing since 1981 and this compendium of works from 1994-2004 was intended as a silver anniversary of sorts. He certainly deserves to have his work issued for a wider audience as he's worked tirelessly over the years under his own name, as Commando Bruno, and a damn impressive video artist. I remember him from the 80s during the heyday of cassette networking, mail art and his releases on labels such as Tonspur, Esplendor Geometrico's imprint and the inevitable Zan Hoffman mix and mash. The pre-digital good old days.

This collection focuses on his predilection for field recordings and their subsequent treatment and juxtapositioning with other sounds. While Rafael is a serious artist, he's not so austere as to exclude a sense of humor and playfulness in his compositions, not to mention a nod toward the surrealists. 'Clouds, Comets, Rumors and Worms' ain't just noise y'all. Senor Flores knows what he's doing and has as keen an ear as anyone.

The disc kicks off with a thick wash of sound as if your head were trapped inside a gentle wash cycle, while your body experiences catatonia. Then things get sparse and metallic; sparks fly into and out of space and rub against an amplified cable that connects the earth-bound with some other life-form. It's a congenial affair : any ensuing confrontation is of the friendly sort. At least until 'Sanzoot' hits the speakers. A wall of sound is constructed, not of noise but of sonic minutiae including actual identifiable pitches (gasp). From here we get catapulted back into the laundry room to deal with some clever loop work until someone decides to use washing machine's body as a drum. This is a particularly wonderful passage with a bit of an industrial aesthetic; a stellar marriage of timbre and rhythm. 'Para' and '7 Minutillos' bring things down a notch as they grow from some environmental rustling into a digitally-damaged drone that sounds like a sanded cymbal stuck somewhere between Jupiter and Saturn. From here it's like flipping an LP over, but the grooves are filled with short-wave transmissions that sound downright hostile. This piece from 1994 is an uncompromising bit of white noise versus the world, but has a very musical dynamic curve. It segues nicely into some processed analogue synth work from 1997 which is a great track, but frankly sounds a little out of place in this collection. 'Luders' makes for a killer concluding five minutes. It sounds like an old dial-up modem has been doused with gasoline and set abalze. A lovely musical buzzing that I wish I could insert at will during unwanted phone calls.

Rafael's work definitely merits notice. Hopefully this CD release will help him reach a wider audience. I can't stress enough, however, that it's his current work that really demands attention. Get in touch with him for some the finest experimental electronic music around. He's a friendly fellow...tell him I sent you.

Review by Mark Meloche

This is compilation Part One or Three showcasing experimental noise tracks that were made or recorded at 50 BPM or less. Can noise be classified as even having BPM? Well, yes, I think it can. When I received these disc's I thought all the tracks would turn out ambient, simply because the music would seem slow at such a low speed. And for the most part I was right. There are a lot of different styles of noise though. We have the legendary Big City Orchestra with their prevalent style of musical ambient. Great opening track. Track two, done by Blood Vessel, is a beautiful ambient piece as well. Chimes, drones and soft tones. Track Six, done by TB, then changes things up a bit with a silly tune and beat. Not what I expected but I like it as it changes the pace a bit on this comp. Some tracks, like track nine done by Michael Biejer, are so subtle and quiet that I feel like just closing my eyes or reading a good book. The loudest and longest track on this comp is done by Xdugef. Full experimental range with circuit bent items and a lot of sounds hit your ears, but nothing too harsh. The closing track is something to marvel at, done by Susan Matthews; it's a beautiful piano piece that soon has soft scratching sounds fading in the background. Ever listen to Eno's "Music For Airports"? It's right up there. An excellent closing track and one of my favorite I've heard in a while, from anyone. Over this first volume is a fair showcase of some great slow pieces. Yes they are not loud but this disc is "musical noise to read to" for sure.

Video de Esplendor Geométrico

Mi video sobre el tema "Neuridina" de Esplendor Geométrico realizado en 1984, acaba de ser editado por Geometrik dentro del dvd que acompaña a su nuevo cd "8 traks & live", así se describe en la página del sello:
Geometrik presenta el nuevo álbum de EG, grabado en el 2007, en un digipack doble que incluye además un DVD. El CD audio incluye 8 temas nuevos de trance neo-Industrial construidos sobre loops de ritmos & ruidos al estilo único y típico de este grupo Industrial pionero y de culto internacional, ¡consiguiendo un efecto hipnótico capaz de lograr que el oyente no quiera parar jamás de escucharlo!. Respecto a su anterior álbum en estudio “Compuesto de Hierro” (2003), 8 Traks & Live supone un giro hacia la cara más áspera, ruidista y radical de EG. El DVD incluye la extraordinaria última actuación de EG en Madrid (junio 2006), la primera en diez años, dentro del Festival Decibelio 2006,. Todos los temas del show son inéditos o versiones totalmente diferentes de temas conocidos pues incorporan la cruda voz de Arturo Lanz. Además se incluyen dos extras: un extracto de una actuación en España en 1994 (aún con el miembro histórico fundador Gabriel Riaza), y el primer “video-clip” de EG (1984) recientemente recuperado del tema Neuridrina (1981) , realizado por el músico industrial y artista experimental español Rafael Flores. Esta primera edición en doble digipack es limitada (1100 copias).
