“Juryo: Durée de la vie de l’ainsi-venu” reviewed by Sonic Seducer

GRM Absolvent Emmanuel Mieville betätigt sich auf “Juryo” als Veranstalter und Leiter einer akustischen Rundreise durch Asien — und liefert als Bonus eine Verbeugung vor Antonin Artauds Buch “Héliogabale, Ou, L’Anarchiste Couronné” ab. Diese eröffnet “Juryo” mit zittrigen Klängen aus dem Ringmodulator. Die Harmonien stehen kurz vor dem Zusammenbruch und man muss nicht allzu genau …

New release: Emmanuel Mieville’s “Juryo: Durée de la vie de l’ainsi-venu”

Crónica is proud to present the new release by Emmanuel Mieville, the fantastic “Juryo: Durée de la vie de l’ainsi-venu”. Paris-born composer Emmanuel Mieville studied sound engineering in a film school and musique concrète at the famous GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales). He has also studied ethnic instruments and played Javanese gamelan orchestra in Paris for two …

“Nowhere: Exercises in Modular Synthesis and Field Recording” reviewed by Gonzo Circus

The modular synthesizer has always been a remarkable instrument: a huge panel of boxes with knobs and sliders, with components that can be replaced, converted and connected at will. I would imagine that playing such a machine is quite similar to steering a space ship, and that compulsive players of flight simulation games must have …

“Nocturnal Rainbow Rising” reviewed by Data.Wave

A modern city is an ocean of sounds, techno universe, with its unique atmosphere, sound landscapes and environment. The album starts with the track Nocturnal Rainbow Rising, which approaches and grows on you, slowly, like the first shadows of a summer evening, and then it gets dark. Very near you can hear a sea, feel …

“Juryo: Durée de la vie de l’ainsi-venu” reviewed by Amusio

Nicht zuletzt als Partizipant eines französischen Gamelan-Orchesters unterstrich der aus Paris stammende Emmanuel Mieville seine breit gefächerte Kenntnis fernöstlicher Musiktraditionen. Nun verweist schon der Titel seiner Veröffentlichung – Juryo: Durée De La Vie L’Ainsi-Venu (Crónica) – auf die mannigfaltigen Verquickungen, die sein akademisch der musique concrète zuzuschlagende Forschergeist angeht. Handelt es sich bei „Juryo“ doch …

“The Waste Land” reviewed by Vital

And finally Luca Forcucci, of which no information was yet available. His cassette was composed and mixed in places INA-GRM, Electronic Music Studio TU (Berlin) and Atomic Lady (Earth). Maybe his composition ‘The Waste Land’ is inspired by T.S. Eliott’s poem of the same name, about the decay of life, and listening to the title …

“Under my Skin” reviewed by Vital

Gintas K, from Lithuania, who has been around for many years, has used no field recordings on his new release. Instead he uses ‘digital synthesis’. I am not sure if an input of any kind is needed here, but maybe it is all in some sort of feedback process, where sounds bounce back and forth …

“Juryo: Durée de la vie de l’ainsi-venu” reviewed by Vital

Music releases by Paris born and based composer Emmanuel Mieville are quite apart (Vital Weekly 803 and 1000 for instance) and has a strong emphasis on field recordings and this one is no different. Mieville had training in sound engineering in a film school and later on at INA-GRM, but also played in Javanese gamelan …
