“Ab OVO” reviewed by Vital Weekly

Its been quite a while, I believe, that we last heard something from Portuguese laptop improvisers @C, Pedro Tudela and Miguel Carvalhais.

Objets sonores, enregistrements de terrain, dispositifs électroacoustiques qui donnent aux quatre pièces un air hybride entre la musique …
