The collaborating project between musician Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and spoken word artist Lydia Lunch first began to
takeform during an encounter at the All Tomorrow's Parties Festival in December 2005. Rodriguez-Lopez, being a fan
ofLunch's work, had invited her to the event so that they can meet and discuss the possibility of working together on
analbum. The meeting eventually resulted in their first recorded collaboration with the intention to record more in the
future.Their debut effort, Omar Rodriguez Lopez & Lydia Lunch, centers around the dark poetry of Lydia Lunch and
thetypical experimental rock style of The Mars Volta guitarist. The music was recorded in Amsterdam and New York,
whileLydia's vocals were recorded at her own studio in Barcelona.
