Marc Behrens was more active with releases a long time ago, the first decade of this century and the last half of the decade before that, but these days may have shifted his work into sound installations – who knows? Maybe he releases his music online mostly. There is a ‘preamble’ release for ‘Clould’, called …

Miguel A. García and Àlex Reviriego have long careers in experimental music, free improvisation, electronics and the most risky metal. In recent years they have collaborated in various projects with other musicians, but this album is their first project as a duo. García and Reviriego act as guides, like Stalkers, on a sonic journey divided …

When I sometimes write that people like Bruno Duplant (or Celer or Machinefabriek) appear almost every week in Vital Weekly, I am doing this in a loving and joking way. I like their music, and there’s an abundance out there, so what’s not to enjoy? I say this fully, realising I’m not the one buying …

Airplane noise interrupted my early outdoor sound recording attempts in the forests around Frankfurt. And so, after a while, I figured I would kick the pastoral, turn the concept upside down, and specifically record the airplane noise instead. Aiear was planned as a field recording project since 1996. In 2023 I resumed the project and composed …

It is a long set of narrative pieces which Philippe …

Ten album jest drugą częścią serii, w której badam procesy usuwania dźwięków z ich oryginalnego kontekstu i cięcia ich na małe kawałki. W ten sposób dźwięki zostają oddzielone od swojego źródła i tym samym oderwane od tego, co pierwotnie reprezentowały. To, co jest dla mnie interesujące i stanowi wyzwanie w tym projekcie, to znalezienie obszaru, w którym reprezentacja znika, a dźwięk staje się abstrakcją. Gdzie to jest, zależy od oryginalnego …

We’re very happy to announce the release of Jos Smolder’s Textuur 2 his second release in this series in Crónica. This album is part 3 in a series where Smolders investigates processes to strip sounds from their original context and slice them into tiny bits. Each Textuur project is built up in a similar fashion. …
Without it being explicitly mentioned, one could say that Transformation Sonor by Hannes Strobl is also very much in line with the music and sound of Eliane Radigue: ‘Transformation Sonor explores the idea of process, of the slow transition from one musical situation to another, of transformation on the threshold of equivalence and differentiation. Expressive, outward gestures that allow the sound …
