“Lovely Banalities†reviewed by Neural
There are fourteen different tracks in “Lovely Banalities”, the second release on Crónica for the Lithuanian sound- artist Gintas K. Although there are multiple “field recording” interludes, they result in a rather continuous, and evocative flow of sound. They are made of synthetic articulations, improvised digital digressions, or minimal modulations. Finally, those that are in …

“Lectures†reviewed by De:Bug
Kammermusikalische Gesten von Holzbläsern, viel Percussion (Gongs), Klaviertupfern, zuweilen elektronischen Klängen und scharfen, dünnen Streichern umstreifen sich, in loopartige, halbimprovisierte Strukturen hinein. Immer wieder ist die Stimme von Cornelius Cardew zu hören, Bandaufnahmen, die dessen Sohn für einen Cardew-Festival-Beitrag zur Verfügung gestellt hat, auf dem diese CD beruht; Vorträge (daher der Titel) und Probenschnipsel, in …

“Erotikon†reviewed by Monsieur Delire
“Erotikon†is a Greek word for “love song.†Jorge Mantas (The Beautiful Schizophonic) holds a highly personal idea of the love song: instrumental, electronic, and ambiant. Oh, and sexy too (no silly sexual sighs, though), and inhabited by an ideation (and idealization?) of women. Sweet, nice music with shimmering textures, seductive ambient electronica. The album …

“Sleppet†reviewed by Boomkat
Marc Behrens is one of those sound artists who is seldom afforded the level of recognition he deserves, consistently releasing brilliant contemporary musique concrète for well over a decade now via labels such as Trente Oiseaux, Sirr and Raster Noton. This latest release is another stunning collection of digital electroacoustic dissections, offering a portrait of …
“Lectures†reviewed by Monsieur Delire
A strange record, very delicate. At first, it sounds like a lecture with instrumentalists illustrating what the lecturer says – all acoustic. Yes, but, isn’t Polish soundsman Piotr Kurek an electronician? And isn’t Portuguese label Crónica specialized in sound art? Exactly. And Lectures is actually a work made with sounds lifted from recordings by Cornelius …
