“Insects 4-7†reviewed by Kindamuzik
Een lijk van je huisdier in de tuin leggen, microfoons erin en eromheen en opnemen geblazen. Zo maakte Russell Haswell een geluidkunstwerk.

MONTY ADKINS, jener feinsinnige Dröhnminimalist und Elektroakustiker aus Warwickshire, der zuletzt mit Fragile, Flicker, Fragment (2011) sich in Erinnerungen vertiefte und bei Four Shibusa (2012) sich von japanischer Schlichtheit leiten ließ, der sinniert nun hier bei Unfurling Streams (CróÂnica 094~2015) über eine ziemlich bekannt gewordene Zeile von E.

Alexander Rishaug reviewed by Sonic Seducer
Auf seiner fünften Soloveröffentlichung bringt der norwegische Klangkünstler Alexander Rishaug zwei sehr unterschiedliche Instrumente zusammen: Kirchenorgel trifft auf E-Gitarre – allerdings nicht in Form sakraler Rock-Musik. Rishaug erforscht die Akustik und Mechanik der Kirchenorgel und setzt diese in Verbindung zum warmen Klang der Gitarrenobertöne, die aus einem alten Röhrenverstärker kommen. Aufgenommen wurde das Basismaterial in …

New release: Porcje RosoÅ‚owe’s “Insects 4-7â€
Porcje RosoÅ‚owe is the Polish duo of Lech Nienartowicz and Mateusz Wysocki (a.k.a. Fischerle). Their sound pieces dedicated to insects play on the idea of reversed field recording.
