Sobrement Intitulé “On paper”, cette compilation élaborée par Pedro Tudela, armateur de Crónica records est un rêve lointain , une méditation antérieure rendue possible et accessible par un travail laborieux et passionné. Couché sur le papier, ses 13 compositions le sont: réfléchies, pensées, maturées ; chacune emprunte un chemin de traverse sur le parcours de …

“A Compressed History of Everything Ever Recorded, Vol. 1†reviewed by Funprox
It is not clear to me who or what this project called ‘Autodigest’ is exactly, but from the moment I pressed the play button of my CD player I was totally awed by this CD. Apparently this project comes from the Portugese electronic arts and experimental music scene, and somehow compressed all their works on …
“Hard Disk†reviewed by Neural
Tuning sounds and visuals by fingering a touchpad and a keyboard is an art as complex as playing music and projecting a video. Moreover, including sounds and visuals in a normal compact disc without sacrificing the sound for the animations is not a simple task. Looks like the portuguese label Crónica succeeded in doing both …

(…) The music that they develop comes from wherever they performed, which are with or without public and partly are improvisations. The geometric images and two-color pencils are geared by Lia in the screen shapes. From a beginning the digital language through the execution of a audio software, unfolds its abstract and dark wings that …

“Hard Disk†é uma ampliação, um acto de voyeurismo que tira prazer do processamento digital. Os sons nascem do vazio e a ele regressam. Mas analise-se a radiografia sonora desta sequência de tempo e encontrar-se-á um universo em metamorfose evolutiva. Crónica número um da terra digital: aprovada sem reservas para usos indiscriminados. 8|10 Fernando Magalhães
“!Siam Acnun†reviewed by BBC Online
Instead of throwing us head first into a world of sounds we’ve never heard before, Longina’s modus operandi is to take tribal house and deep techno one step further down the rabbit hole; like a fun house mirror, you recognize the image, but it’s not quite what it seems to be. “Nosac” kicks the CD …

“!Siam Acnum” é o grito “Nunca Mais!” invertido, dissimulado, mas nem por isso menos forte. Um grito lançado à catástrofe ecológica ocorrida na Galiza com o derrame do “Prestige”. Um grito atirado com toda a fúria da indignação, com toda a calma da razão. Foi, por isso, de diálogos entre o orgânico e o digital, …
“!Siam Acnun†reviewed by A Puta da Subjectividade
Num movimento de leitura invertida lemos que Nunca Mais! é o tÃtulo deste disco, tal como num movimento invertido deciframos o nome das faixas que aparentam descender da mesma estirpe louca de Aphex Twin. No entanto, é caso para dizer: !Ossid Adan. Longina é um galego de nome próprio Chiu, co-fundador do colectivo SINSAL-Ãudio que …

“!Siam Acnun†reviewed by Loop
Chiu Longina is from Galicia and is the man behind this proposal in which he combines different rhythms, samples of domestic machinery and noises produced with program audio software. This album was release in April this year [2003] by the Crónica Electrónica label from Porto, Portugal, and is an answer to the ecological damage that …
“!Siam Acnun†reviewed by Bodyspace
“!Siam Acnunâ€, o terceiro CD com carimbo Crónica, é um daqueles discos perdidos num referencial de nomes, momentos e lugares. Não sabemos muito bem de onde surge esta música – sabemos que vem dos lados de Espanha, mas isso nem é muito importante – porque quando começa a “rodar†na aparelhagem ficamos com a noção …
