“Lemuria” reviewed by The Sound Projector

A curious work is Lemuria (CRÓNICA 083-2013), a collaboration between the sound artist Enrico Coniglio from Venice and the photographer and field recordist Giovanni Lami of Ravenna, here working as the duo Lemures.

Eins Bis Sechzehn est un objet un peu particulier, d’un format un peu plus grand qu’un CD mais ne contenant qu’une vingtaine de minutes …
