“Monnom / Hertz, Gigahertz” reviewed by Sonidos Restringidos

Este año se celebra un siglo de la publicación del manifiesto L’arte dei rumori (El arte de los ruidos), escrito por el futurista italiano Luigi Russolo en marzo de 1913 (puedes leerlo, traducido al castellano, en este blog), y a buen seguro proliferarán recordatorios y reivindicaciones de las ideas revolucionarias entorno a la concepción musical …

“Monnom / Hertz, Gigahertz” reviewed by Loop

This is a collaboration between Miguel A. García and Durán Vázquez for a split album in Crónica’s Unlimited Series.

“Untitled #284” reviewed by Terz

Wir bleiben den soundtrackartigen Reisen. Der spanische Klangkunst-Experimentalist ist für seinem regen Output bekannt. Dieses 43-Minuten-Stück wirkt in seiner postindustriellen Fragilität nahezu gasförmig, man muss den Klãngen und ihren Verzweigungsbewegungen und Neuformungen nahezu wie in einem abgedunkelten Videogame folgen, dann wird mensch durch neue Wendungen und des Gefühl eines Trip belohnt. Das bereits 1992 nur …

New release: “Queendom Maybe Rise” by Marc Behrens

Crónica is proud to present a new release by Marc Behrens, “Queendom Maybe Rise”, now available directly from Crónica or through selected retailers.

Als im März 2010 der isländische Vulkan Eyjafjallajökull ausbrach und damit den flugverkehr über Europa für einige Tage zum Erliegen brachte, gehörte Simon Whetham zu den Gestrandeten. Er nutzte die unfreiwillige Freizeit und streifte mit diverser Aufnahmetechnik durch Lissabon, um die Stadt und ihr Umland akustisch einzufangen. Dabei kamen nicht nur Mikrophone zum Einsatz, sondern …
