From the liner notes:

Francisco López was first invited to Birmingham in 2007, to give one of his legendary
'Total Darkness' concerts at a Modulate Sonic Culture Salon, and we were delighted when
he subsequently suggested returning to direct the Birmingham Sound Matter project.
López thus became the catalyst to draw together a unique mix of sound artists from the
West Midlands: some of whom were born here (in Birmingham, Coventry and the Black
Country), others who gravitated to the region from London, Dublin and the Shetland Islands,
and ranging from the self-taught to the academically trained, all with a deep interest in sound.
This, combined with the spark of López's passion and dedication, has produced a concert
performance and the Birmingham Sound Matter CD – a project with which Modulate are proud
to have been involved.

Thanks to Arts Council England (support for the initial Birmingham Sound Matter workshops
and live concert), PRS Foundation and IKON (additional support for live concert).
