Susana López aka Susan DroneAural landscapes that incorporate elements of musique concrete and industrial music alongside hallucinatory drones.The Edge of the Circle by Susana López, released 24 June 20221. Soul Stuff2. Black Circle3. Swarm of Drones4. Valhalla5. ConcentricSusana López returns to Elevator Bath with the follow-up to her critically acclaimed album, "Crónica de un secuestro" (2020). That release showcased López's refined approach to audio exploration, which predominantly utilizes field recordings, electronically generated sounds, and layers of vocal harmonics. With "The Edge of the Circle," similar techniques have been employed, but the final product is an altogether more ominous affair, relying heavily on atmosphere in the creation of dense clouds of hypnotic, foreboding sound. "The Edge of the Circle" portrays a kind of abstract narrative that comprises five concentric rings rather than chapters. The work suggests an initial departure along an open road; a tumultuous journey through an intense storm; a trek along a menacing footpath; a wilderness populated by wandering spirits; and finally, a majestic, enormous hall in which those spirits dwell.With this new work, Susana López has created a vividly expressive sound cycle redolent of mythic archetypes and rich symbolism. Above all, however, "The Edge of the Circle" is a highly compelling piece of dark ambient artistry and a welcome return for a fascinating, singular composer in peak form.Susana López is an experimental composer, visual artist, and performer based in Murcia, Spain."The Edge of the Circle" is released digitally and as a compact disc in an edition of 200 copies. Susana López's intricate and evocative artwork (inspired by a cosmological diagram of Ibn Arabi (1165-1240): Murcian philosopher, poet, traveler, and wise man) graces the six-panel digipak, inside and out."Sound creations that explore the cycle of human birth, growth, and death. Oeuvre that thinks over the transitional point between being and non-being, or the line that split the organic and the inorganic. A sonic meditation about the substance that is co-existent in the universe with time and space instead of existing within them. These sonorities burrow the psyche’s inner depths and are slowly going down inwards of the organic structure, traveling unto the formless void preceding the creation or the Nothingness."
