“Bittersweet Melodies†reviewed by Bodyspace
É um cliché dizer que uma determinada música parece ter sido feita a pensar num filme, seja esse filme real ou imaginário. No seu 11º álbum, o israelita Ran Slavin deu um pouco a volta a esta boutade; Bittersweet Melodies soa não a longa-metragem, mas a uma colecção de vignettes com pontos em comum entre …

“Geography†reviewed by Bad Alchemy
VITOR JOAQUIM Geography (Crónica 117~2016): Waren “Flow” (2006) und “Filament” (2011) vom Blick auf die eigene Gefühlswelt bestimmt und einer egozentrischen Verfasstheit von Raum und Zeit und damit von der quasi vertikalen Verortung im Großen und Ganzen, ist Joaquims Perspektive nun horizontaler. Sein Bemühen, die Lage zu erkennen – Brenns großes Motto – ist spezifisch …

“Urban Dialog†reviewed by Sigil of Brass
I have to state that I am a little bit in love with this album. Fusing Found Sound and composed media, Tamtam’s work “Urban Dialog†is a series of compositions that have a common thread of being based on field recordings from different urban situations. For each piece a set of sounds is chosen and …
