Monty Adkins’s “Shadows and Reflections” reviewed by Blow Up

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 18 October 2017

La Crónica continua a dar conto di esperienze artistiche particolari e curate attraverso delle cassete dal formato più che adatto a un minutaggio abbastanza ridotto. In questo caso si tratta di musica per uns installazione di un pitore (Andy Fullalove) nella cattedrale di Bradford in occasione del restauro di un’opera (un paliotto d’altare) del pittore, […]

Emmanuel Mieville’s “Juryo: Durée de la vie de l’ainsi-venu” reviewed by The Sound Projector

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 16 October 2017

Parisian composer Emmanuel Mieville has shown up here in the past with Four Wanderings in Tropical Lands (field recordings), Concret-Sens (a tribute to classical musique concrète) and Ethers (electronic drone music). On Juryo (CRÓNICA 126-2017), the plan is to explore a Buddhist text called the Lotus Sutra, and he uses this text’s “inspiration cycles” as […]

David Lee Myers’s “Superpositions” reviewed by Westzeit

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 11 October 2017

David Lee Myers (früher auch als Arcane Device unterwegs) hat für die MC Superpositions (Crónica) seine Feedback-Apparate in den “sanft”-Modus versetzt und betreibt eine spartanische, aber konsequente Klangsynthese. Relativ wenige Ereignisse aus schmatzenden Schaltkreisen, diese aber bestens organisiert. Kein reines Experiment, sondern durchaus auch “Musik”. Für Menschen mit offenen Ohren. 5/5 Superpositions by David Lee […]

David Lee Myers’s “Superpositions” reviewed by Touching Extremes

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 6 October 2017

I just love how David Lee Myers ends his notes for this cassette release, to the point that a quote is inevitable: “Feedback is far more than a public address system in misalignment; it is a core principle of universal importance.” He is, of course, referring to the inexplicable criteria of self-regeneration at the basis […]

Monty Adkins’s “Shadows and Reflections” reviewed by Music Won’t Save You

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 5 October 2017

Pressoché in contemporanea con “A Year At Usher’s Hill“, il suo lavoro neoclassico-ambientale maggiormente impressionistico, Monty Adkins propone due lunghe tracce su cassetta, realizzate in sinestesia creativa con il pittore Andy Fullalove. Come gli strati di colore danno forma a un’immagine, così l’artista inglese lungo i venti minuti ciascuna di “Sounds Of The Shadow” e […]

New release: David Lee Myers’s “Superpositions”

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 3 October 2017

Witness the common phenomenon of feedback such as produced inadvertently through poorly configured microphones and loudspeakers in public amplification situations: the sound coming from the speakers finds its way back into the microphones and produces an uncomfortable squealing sound. The component elements are electronic and acoustic, the latter involving air movement and vibration of physical […]
