Roel Meelkop’s “Crossmodulated” reviewed by The Sound Projector
Roel Meelkop is a Dutch hero of sound art who I find it convenient to put in a Netherlandish seraglio with Peter Duimelinks, Jos Smolders, Frans de Waard and Machinefabriek. Indeed we last heard from the Roelster on the Cryptonesia record where he performed as Wieman (with de Waard) to produce an extensive reworking of two cassette tapes by Cybe. […]

The mix created for this podcast looks at one among many possible articulations of […]
Francisco López’s “DSB” reviewed by Freq
There’s a quality that some music has of being like an old friend. I’ve not listened to any new Francisco López in a decade or more but the ’00s CDs of his I have get a fairly frequent spin. Those CDs tended towards a kind of quietism — usually called Untitled [n] and largely a kind of textural building […]
“Submerge-Emerge” reviewed by Ambient Blog
You can trust Dutch electroacoustic composer and sound artist (and mastering engineer) Jos Smolders to come up with amazing sounds. After all, he has the experience of experimenting for more than 35 years – learning to work with “a combination of instinct, talent, skill, and patience”. Submerge-Emerge, released on Crónica as a 2-CD set and digital download, presents a fascinating […]
New release: Budhaditya Chattopadhyay’s “Exile and Other Syndromes”
Crónica is proud to present the new release from Budhaditya Chattopadhyay, Exile and Other Syndromes, now available to stream or download. Exile and Other Syndromes is the stereo mix-down of an interactive and generative audiovisual installation that responds to the current indisposition of migration, mobility, placeless-ness and nomadism, which are considered as the impulses of a […]
Francisco López’s “DSB” reviewed by Felthat
Francisco Lopez is a man institution. Creatively active in the field recording and musique concrete, he elevated the art of both to something completely different. His newest album is no different but definitely somewhat of a surprise. The processing of the field recordings is his trademark – you might be surprised how nuanced and elaborate […]
New release: Francisco López’s “DSB”
This is not music? Says who? Try to imagine an astonishing reversal of the traditional widespread subservience of sound to storytelling: instead of sound effects providing realism to a narrative, the open shell of an apparent narrative becoming sound work… or perhaps even a new form of weird experimental music that only requires a willingness […]
