“Homem Fantasma†reviewed by Gonzo Circus
De drie lange soundscapes die ‘Homem Fantasma’ vullen, kunnen prima functioneren als een ‘ambient’ achtergrond bij andere bezigheden. Maar wie deze stukken serieus wil nemen en met interesse wil beluisteren heeft hier een boeiende, uitdagende maar flinke auditieve kluif aan. Telkens als ik ‘Homem Fantasma’ opnieuw beluisterde, vroeg ik me af waarom ik nauwelijks iets …

“So On†reviewed by Gonzo Circus
Het nieuwe soloproject van Gintas K heet ‘So On’; vijfenveertig minuten elektronische klanken in veertien op zichzelf staande en tamelijk uiteenlopende tracks. Gintas K lijkt zo’n beetje alles dat er met digitale klanken is uitgeprobeerd hier te willen verzamelen. Van zachte tinkeltjes en tikjes, fluittonen en ruisende klanken in de eerste track tot de clicks …

“Pastoral†reviewed by Cyclic Defrost
Release no. 55 from the esteemed Cronica label sees acoustic/electronic composer Arturas Bumsteinas flexing his experimental muscles by utilising all manners of acoustic instrumentation and then subtly shifting, looping and distorting various passages to create waves and drones of differing complexities. Whilst essentially remaining an organic set of pieces, each is tinkered with just enough …

“Homem Fantasma†reviewed by The Cookshop
