Pensata e sviluppata come esplorazione delle proprietà del suono, e finalizzata alla definizione di ambienti sonori cinematografici e immaginativi, la proposta del trio trova un suo nuovo manifesto in “Horizons of Suspended Zones”, album pubblicato …

David Lee Myers has been called many things – pioneer of feedback music, sonic cartographer, stubborn alchemist of electronics – but with “Terrenus” he plants his machines firmly in the soil. If so much electronic sound gazes longingly at the stars, Myers insists on digging his fingernails into mud and moss, coaxing voices from tangled …

Loop And Again is a CD album themed around magnetic fields. It blends recordings of said fields, drone texturing, sudden pitch rising detail, and general field recordings. The three tracks featured are eventful, moody, at times atmospherically jarring- with a sound that dips in electro ambience, pressing drone texturing, and even droned out avant jazz. …

In seiner Ausrichtung knüpft es an “Frontier” (2022) an, ebenfalls …

Für mich ergeben sich da durchaus Parallelen. Was denkt ihr dazu? Aber auch ohne diesen Verweis auf Eno ist die elektronische Musik von David …

We’re extremely proud to welcome David Lee Myers to Crónica for the fourth time and to present his new album, Terrenus.
