Brandon Lopez - quoniam facta sum vilis (ASTRAL SPIRITS 2018)


"Quoniam Facta Sum Vilis (for I have become vile in the eyes of the lord)" is the newest solo album of the award winning composer and virtuoso bassist, Brandon Lopez. Created, in part, as an answer to the musical "reason" of the Bach cello suites, Lopez seeks to create the inverse of what's hailed as musical logic. To create something florid and beautiful from the violent and erratic and to deny the supremacy of the wrote in favor of the intuitive. 

Recorded mostly in the May Funerary Chapel in Chicago's Rosehill Cemetery, and partially in Brooklyn's Issue Project Room.

All compositions by BRANDON LOPEZ.
Recording by DAVID ZUCHOWSKI & BOB BELLERUE.
Mixed diligently by FATHER JON LIPSCOMB.
Mastered by ALAN JONES at LAMINAL AUDIO.
