The first is what is called in the world of vinyl a split release, but there is not an appropiate term for it yet for the CD version. One person is first, the other second. So it goes. First here is one Sumugan Sivanesan from Sydney, Australia. Before turning his laptop on, he played in …

SUMUGAN SIVANESAN experimentiert mit Collagen aus hochfrequenten Fiepsen, Digital Noise, Field Recordings und Feedbacks, erstellt daraus Tracks zwischen Ambient, Drone, Clicks’n’Cuts und Noise. Die zweite Hälfte der CD, aufgenommen von DURÃN VÃZQUEZ beginnt in ähnlichen Bereichen, zeigt aber später eher Anklänge von Cut-Ups und Loops aus Spieluhrklängen, dumpfen Scheppern, aber jeweils verziert mit digitalen Klängen. …

Per la serie se non sono matti non li recensiamo ecco a voi direttamente dal “Portugal”: On Paper. Pedro Tudela introduce il sampler parlando della carta e del fatto che collezionando vari mucchi di poster si è interessato al concetto stesso di carta come materiale, al suo utilizzo ed al rapporto che quest’ultimo ha con …

As you may imagine compressing all the recorded sound of the past 100-plus years would be no easy, or for that matter ‘quiet’, task. This conceptual piece is a heavy listen – deep reverb caverns are intersected with tiny clipped particles of noise. This then rolls into tiny high-pitched noise fragments that bring to mind …

The Product Series aims at fusion and confrontation through releasing the work of two artists in a single´CD. This returns to the vinyl split mentality, but this time using digital media. These releases are comprised of audio and/or audiovisual work of two artists plus a special Cronica guest to produce the cover artwork. Sumugan Sivanesan …

Autodigest se autodefine como una simulación de los procesos de la implosión cultural. Apoya sus teorÃas en el hiperconformismo de Baudrillard, y la compresión tiempo-espacio de David Harvey. Bien. En cristiano, la pretensión de Autodigest es combinar sonidos y presentar luego une enciclopedia que resuma La Existencia. Más claro aún, por si no nos hemos …

Ook bij het Cronica-label: een nieuwe episode in de Product-reeks, waarbij twee artiesten tegenover elkaar worden geplaatst die qua gedachtengoed in elkaars buurt vertoeven. De Australische componist Sumugan Sivanesan grossiert in ultrahoge digitale polyfonieën, Durán Vázquez heeft zich dan weer gespecialiseerd in holle, industriële, dof klinkende ambient. Van high tech naar low tech, in een …

Après l’album conceptuel d’Autodigest dont on parlait récemment, voici une autre sortie de l’exigeant label portugais Cronica, avec ce premier CD d’une série cherchant à confronter les univers sonores de deux artistes. Pour ce premier numéro, on trouve l’australien Sumugan Sivanesan à la démarche très expérimentale, avec une recherche sur le son et la combinaison …

(…) Mais surpreendente, no entanto, é o primeiro volume de «A Compressed History of Everything Ever Recorded», outra novidade do catálogo Crónica, não por o misterioso Autodigest (quem será?) cumprir o que promete no tÃtulo (é uma impossibilidade, obviamente), mas pelo nÃvel conceptual que assiste ao presente trabalho (deliciosa, a menção de que esta música …

Autodigest est pour moi un mystère. Très peu d’informations circulent sur ce projet. Soit je m’y prends comme un manche, soit ils sont effectivement dans des circuits assez underground. La note de presse qui accompagne ce disque n’a guère été plus loquace. Peu importe. On se concentrera sur ce disque de musique électronique pour le …
