New release: @c’s “Installations: Seis Elementos”

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 12 October 2021

During the twenty-plus years of their collaboration as @c, Pedro Tudela and Miguel Carvalhais’s work has spanned composition and performance but also, and prominently, several installations, often site-specific and ephemeral works that have at most been documented with short videos. Crónica’s latest series of releases is dedicated to systematic documentation and revisitation of these installation works. […]

David Lee Myers’s “Reduced to a Geometrical Point” reviewed by Beach Sloth

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 22 September 2021

David Lee Myers continues his legend with the meditative suites of “Reduced to a Geometrical Point”. Noise music, at least for the aficionados, can be seen to be the other side of that ambience coin. At first grating, it eventually gives way to something far different, a trip of sorts. While David Lee Myers may […]

New release: David Lee Myers’s “Reduced to a Geometrical Point”

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 21 September 2021

I am not an advocate of “music for meditation” and in fact believe that to be a completely misguided notion. However, I have observed that some audio constructions seem to encourage a posture of staying in the moment. This has proven to be a fascination over time. As I began the present sonic explorations, a […]

New release: Lucas Alvarado’s “La Ausencia Como Lenguaje”

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 7 September 2021

Crónica is delighted to present Lucas Alvarado’s debut in the label with La Ausencia Como Lenguaje. La Ausencia Como Lenguaje is comprised of a series of sound reflections on the absence of people in sites built by and for humans, and about the absence of art in our reality. Abandonment and absence are sometimes thought […]

David Lee Myers’s “Reduced to a Geometrical Point” reviewed by Downtown Music Gallery

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 30 August 2021

Myers’s Cronica CD debut is an entirely different kettle of fish compared to the kind of work he produced on his sister Arcane Device release, the yin to Nodes’ yang, psyche to drama. If anything, this lengthy, four-track recording of miasmic, buzzing drone and minimalist linear formatting resurrects the original AD motivators but recontextualizes them […]

Francisco López’s “DSB” reviewed by The Sound Projector

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 27 August 2021

Another strong release from Francisco López, the very prolific sound artist whose passion and headstrong ways often lead him to make grand gestures and pronouncements, along with the music. Today on DSB (CRONICA 166-2021) he is reiterating – absolutely verbatim – the claims made for a 2018 release untitled#360 for the Emitter Micro label in Berlin, and noted here. The […]

David Lee Myers’s “Reduced to a Geometrical Point” reviewed by Vital Weekly

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 13 July 2021

Sometimes I need to repeat myself (I don’t mind), and surely I wrote the next thing before: ever since I stumbled upon music by David Lee Myers, I am a big fan. I guess it was already with his LP, ‘Engine Of Myth, for the unlikely label Recommended Records (not always known for the most […]

Yiorgis Sakellariou’s “Degti” reviewed by Music Map

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 8 July 2021

Yorgis Sakellariou ha un curriculum interessante: musicista, artista del suono, accademico. Una figura affascinante. Poi ascolti questo album (uscito per Crónica Records) e ti cadono le braccia. “Ma, Matteo è un album sperimentale!” la mia vocina interna decanta ciò. E la mia risposta, per dirla all’inglese …and these birds! Ho capito che non si ascolta […]
