En Mi by Susana López

For our latest installation in the Fifteen Minutes of Anonymity postcard series, we have 20+ minutes of great new work from Susana López.

Susana is a multidisciplinary artist and composer from Murcia, Spain, active since the late 2000s. With a background in electroacoustic composition, she creates abstract works that span sound, image, and performance — from audiovisual installations to immersive concerts. Her practice explores the power of sound and light to transform spaces, shift the perception of time, and generate deep sensory experiences. In recent years, López has released a series of full-length works, weaving atmosphere and abstraction through field recordings, synthesizers, and vocal harmonics.

Susana has also been a member of the FMOA “family” for nearly fifteen years, having helped to facilitate a very rare mini-tour for me in Spain and a residency at the SONM facility in Murcia. Since then, she has lent invaluable assistance with video and static images to enhance the sensory impact of the FMOA campaign. She definitely represents the next wave of activity profiled in my first book “Micro Bionic”: creating an output that spans nearly all the “traditional” media, with a professionalism and fine detail that often escape creators with a hundred times her own operating budget.

This piece, divided in two parts, is inspired by Fátima of Córdoba, a 12th-century Sufi mystic and teacher of Ibn Arabi. Fans of classics such as Roland Kayn’s “Tektra” will get lots of sonic sustenance from this one, though of course I warn against expecting a clone of such work: the best so-called “ambient” music thrives on those glimmering pearls of nuance secreted within the larger flow of sound, and this is no exception. “En Mi” is an expertly crafted, shimmering mirage in which individual sound sources shift with the determination and undulation of patterns in the desert sand.

Note that every purchase of the digital album comes with a FREE copy of the audio postcard (see the merch page for more details), although supplies are limited!

Thomas Bey William Bailey is a researcher and author of several books (e.g. "To Hear The World With New Eyes," "Micro Bionic," "Sonic Phantoms") as well as a dedicated sound artist and editor of the Fifteen Minutes of Anonymity label.

His work explores issues of unstable identity, post-industrial technology, and the hidden wonders at the edges of perception.
