We’re extremely proud to welcome David Lee Myers to Crónica for the fourth time and to present his new album, Terrenus. Terrenus is an exploration in purely electronic sound, and although much electronic music is characterised as “space music”, Terrenus is much more accurately portrayed as “earth music.” This album follows along similar lines to David Lee Myers’s Frontier (2022) …

Na swojej najnowszej płycie Terrenus David Lee Myers kontynuuje eksplorację świata czysto elektronicznego brzmienia, jednak z wyraźnym zwrotem ku temu, co ziemskie, namacalne i gęste. W odróżnieniu od wielu współczesnych produkcji elektronicznych, które dryfują ku temu, co kosmiczne i odrealnione, Myers tworzy muzykę głęboko zakorzenioną – zamiast przestrzeni kosmicznych, przywołuje obrazy zamglonych łąk, nieostrych pejzaży i rzek …

Haarvöl have always seemed like time-travelers in reverse: instead of racing toward the future, they slow it down, dissolve it, leave it to drip into pools where sound lingers like dew on glass. “Horizons of Suspended Zones”, their new release on Crónica, is very much in this spirit – a refusal to obey the tempo …

On a souvent l’habitude de lever les yeux vers le ciel quand il s’agit de musique électronique, comme si chaque oscillateur n’avait qu’une ambition : rejoindre les étoiles. Terrenus de David Lee Myers, lui, inverse la focale. Ici, les fréquences ne s’évadent pas vers l’infini sidéral : elles s’enracinent. Elles rampent, glissent, se faufilent dans des interstices minéraux, …

Behind Emiter is Marcin Dymiter. I reviewed some of his work, going back quite a few years, and yet his catalogue isn’t very extensive. On his latest release, he explores the sounds of the city, buzzing and whirring. To that end, he walked around town (I assume Berlin, for no reason; I believe this is …

Sometimes I think Myers becomes a man machine; a man with machines and a man acting like a machine, one release after another. Sometimes the differences aren’t significant, and sometimes they are. ‘Terrenus’ is described by the label as ‘earth music’, in contrast to a lot of electronic music being ‘space music’. I couldn’t say …

Only yesterday, I expended considerable contemplation – and verbiage – on the matter of press releases, and the level of detail they contain nowadays compared to the old A4 1-sheet – which sometimes contained just a few lines under the heading and the logo. It’s wasn’t really a complaint, as much as an observation, although …

W świecie zdominowanym przez natychmiastowość, w którym dźwięki konkurują o naszą uwagę jak kolorowe reklamy, Haarvöl proponuje coś radykalnie innego: zatrzymanie, zawieszenie, wyciszenie. Horizons of Suspended Zones to specyficzny manifest akustycznej niezgody na logikę współczesnego czasu. „Czas musi zostać nieposłuszny” – piszą twórcy. I robią wszystko, byśmy jako słuchacze poczuli, jak to jest trwać poza rytmem świata. …
