In their collaboration as @c, Pedro Tudela and Miguel Carvalhais developed several installations, often site-specific and ephemeral works. This series of releases in Crónica is dedicated to revisiting these installation works, occasionally with situ recordings, but also further exploring the computational systems developed for the works, archival materials, and other assets, presenting new compositions that unfold …

Puisant son inspiration dans La Divine Comédie de Dante et les gravures de Gustave Doré, Philippe Petit réussit le pari, non pas d’illustrer, mais d’offrir sa vision personnelle de l’oeuvre, en utilisant une palette de sonorités dont lui seul a le secret. Depuis toutes ses années d’activité, le compositeur a développé un style qui lui est propre, combinaison d’expression abstraite au bord …

We are thrilled to announce the release of Philippe Petit’s new album, “A Divine Comedy”, now available as a limited-release double CD, download or stream. Petit was inspired by Dante Alighieri’s poem and influenced by Gustave Doré’s illustrations, building a symphonic “palette” of musical pigments, pictorial tones, and textures that reconcile epic narrative and expressionist …

Philippe Petit zainspirował się poematem Dantego Alighieri i ilustracjami Gustave’a Doré, budując symfoniczną „paletę” muzycznych barw, obrazowych tonów i tekstur, które godzą epicką narrację i ekspresjonistyczną formę muzyczną. Jego celem nie jest ilustrowanie, ale raczej opowiadanie historii alternatywnego świata, który jest wprawiany w ruch poprzez zwracanie uwagi na percepcję i uczucia słuchaczy. Momenty w tej historii są zszywane we wciągającą podróż kolorowej muzyki, którą słuchacze przemierzają tak, jakby …

PHILIPPE PETITs 90-Minuten-Dante-Adaption “A Divine Comedy” (Crónica) ist eine KlangCollage über die Stufen hinab in den innersten Kreis der Hölle (und vielleicht auch zurück, das lassen wir mal offen). Obschon durchaus von gewohnt hoher Petit-Qualität, hinterließ das ElektroKunstWerk bei mir aber doch den bösen Verdacht, dass ich solcherlei KlangSchnipseleien vielleicht nicht die gleiche Ruhe, Aufmerksamkeit …

Zodra de naam Philippe Petit opduikt, mag je de oren spitsen. Zeker als je voor de meer avontuurlijke muziek gaat. Dat geldt niet eens alleen voor zijn eigen muziek of die hij maakt met Strings Of Consciousness of zijn bevriende artiesten, waaronder K11, Lydia Lunch, Cosey Fanni Tuti, Cindytalk, PAS, Ron Anderson, Robert L. Pepper, …

Nice piece of voice-with-electronics improvisation by Sun Dog, the team of ErikM and Isabelle Duthoit. Col Des Tempètes (CRONICA ELECTRONICA 192-2022) comes to us from January 2022 and ErikM points out that it’s one in an informal series of such voice-collaborations he’s worked on, including ones with Phil Minton and Catherine Jauniaux. Duthoit comes to us from a classical music background and …

Goodbye 2023. It’s been great to celebrate Crónica’s twentieth. And we wouldn’t like to leave you without leaving just one more thing… So here it is, an end of the year, special release, exclusively through our Bandcamp page, “20 Years × 180 Minutes”, a 21-track mix revisiting Crónica’s history throughout these first two decades. In …
I didn’t realise: Philippe Petit started DJing on the radio and editing fanzines in 1983, and now, forty years later, he is still active. In between, he ran a record label, Bip Hop, but in recent years, he has only been active as a composer. For his new release, he takes his inspiration from Dante …
