*100 copies limited release* Small sounds and huge drones populate the surrealistic landscape of “Materia Vibrante”, Susana López’s gorgeous new album, her third for Elevator Bath and first on vinyl. Extraordinarily evocative, this LP is filled with detail and emotive tranquility, while occasionally swelling with the intensity of a raging sea. Surely López’s most elegant and finely hewn work to date, “Materia Vibrante” offers a fully enveloping sonic meditation. 

The album was built from field recordings captured at megalithic sites in Ireland, underwater sounds recorded with hydrophones in the rivers of Asturias, and electromagnetic wave scans from Birmingham. These sonic landscapes are interwoven with synthesizers, digital harmonium, experimental “sonic triangle,” multi-effects, percussion, and López’s voice — serving as a thread between the inner and the outer worlds.

The pieces within “Materia Vibrante” form a constellation: “Mundus Imaginalis” is inspired by the imaginal world, that intermediate dimension where the intelligible and the sensible intertwine — where vision and vibration merge. “Materia Vibrante” reflects on the alchemical power of art to shape reality. “In recent years,” says López “I have undergone many changes — including illness — which have brought me into deeper awareness of my body, my organs, not just my spirit.” “Sonic Meditation” evokes life cycles and natural processes of transformation through expanded and ritualistic listening. “Luminescence” is an ode to technological objects born of material imagination — creations that have helped improve human life through their visionary function. 

Taken together, the album's four pieces are an invitation to hear the world as vibration in perpetual becoming. A sonic journey that doesn’t seek answers, but resonances.
