Rafael Flores

Rafael Flores is from Andújar, Spain, and has recorded a number of albums since 1981, under his own name and also as Comando Bruno.
Many collaboration works followed with like-minded musicians (Francisco López, Zan Hoffman, Avant Dernières Pensées, Seiei Jack Nakahara and Thomas Park, to name a few). His music was released all over the world by such labels as Discos Esplendor Geométrico, Korm Plastics, Zero Cabal, Graf Haufen Tapes, BogArt, and Tonspur Tapes.

Rafael Flores uses methods of musique concréte, collage and other approaches, mixed with a sense of humour and a spirit of dada and surrealism. One of the most active sound artists in the 1980s industrial music scene (international cassette network, experimental video, radio and mail art), he influenced new generations of experimental sound artists. His most notorious feature is the intimate poetical touch in the soundworks, quite unusual for the industrial music scene.

From 1991 to 2001, Rafael Flores reduced musical activity, and was involved with videoart, releasing just a very limited soundworks as "friends only" private editions. After a long pause, he returns to editorial activity, but again with a few series of very limited editions on cdr and some net editions. In 2006 have released a new CD "Nubes, cometas, rumores y orugas" on monochrome vision label from Russia.
