“Transmissions†reviewed by Rockerilla
Ci sono voluti sei anni a Mathias Delplanque per ultimare il suo nuovo lavoro, Transmissions, da poco pubblicato dalla sempre attiva etichetta portoghese Cronica. Le prime due tracce in scaletta sono nate su Musée du Textile of Cholet nel 2008: suoni meccanici che diventano nei laboratori di Delplanque sinfonie sottomarine in grado di svelare i …

New release: Emidio Buchinho & Ricardo Guerreiro’s “W​.​o​.​W. – Wand of Wattâ€
W.o.W. – Wand of Watt is a collaborative work for electric guitar and computer live-sampling and generative sound synthesis.

“Transmissions†reviewed by KindaMuzik
Mathias Delplanque maakt industrial. Niet van die bonkmuziek in vierkwartsmaats, al dan niet opgesmukt met metalen gitaren en nihilistische eindtijdlyriek. Hij presenteert ware industriële composities: drie korte en een heel lang stuk opgebouwd uit veldopnamen van machinegeluid.

Marc Behrens’ YouTube channel
A probably never-ending story, and subject to updating, but here is Marc Behrens’ YouTube channel. So far, some live-performances and documentary videos of installation projects have been uploaded. Check out Behrens’ ongoing exploration of the subjects of mass air transportation vs. mythological creatures who supposedly live in the skies («Clould») or move backwards in time …
“Concret-Sens†reviewed by The Sound Projector
In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in the techniques of musique concrète and electro-acoustic composition. A substantial reissue program from Editions Mego and subsequent attention from outside the fields of modern composition has brought particular attention to Groupes Researches de Musicales, Pierre Schaeffer’s influential research organization. Yet, rather than considering the …

New release: Mikel R. Nieto’s “The Sound of Underwater Friction Produced by Movementâ€
Mikel R. Nieto’s new release, “The Sound of Underwater Friction Produced by Movementâ€, is now available in Crónica! This recording was made in the Mediterranean Sea with a special hydrophone designed to listen to echolocations made by dolphins.
