“X-RUN-4 Prismatique†reviewed by Jazz.pt
Quando na improvisação o “aqui†é tão importante quanto o “agoraâ€, natural será que algumas das práticas desta área valorizem especialmente o factor “site specificâ€, ou seja, as situações em que o ambiente da actuação musical influencia a própria caracterização desta e os desenvolvimentos efectuados. É esse o caso, precisamente, deste trabalho a solo do …

“Against Nature†reviewed by Dark Entries
De beweging van de natuur vastleggen lijkt wel een menselijke oerdrang: Landschapschilderijtjes, ellendige new age-cd’s met kabbelende riviertjes of ontspannende onweersgeluiden, indrukwekkende waterbeelden van Jacques Cousteau en in het gruwelijkste geval geval een bloederig jachttafereel. De artiesten in kwestie lijken echter meestal te vergeten dat ze vanaf het moment van hun vastleggen van de natuur …

“X-RUN-4 Prismatique†reviewed by Westzeit
Ulrich Mitzlaffs phänomenale Cello-Etuden erscheinen leider nur als download, aber damit wenigstens überhaupt. “X-RUN-4 Prismatique” zeigt nämlich, was mit diesem Instrument jenseits Lindenbergscher Pubertätsphantasien oder purem Wohlklang möglich ist. Zwischen piccicato und reinem Lärm vermag der Mann seinem bundlosen 4-Saiter alle nur denkbaren Schattierungen in einer derart packenden Dramaturgie zu entlocken, dass einem fassungslos der …

“Bittersweet Melodies†reviewed by Rockerilla
Le colonne sonore sono parte fondamentale di un lm e spesso hanno decretato il successo della pellicola. Poi c’è chi scrive colonne sonore per lm immaginari come fa Barry Adamson e c’è chi estrae frammenti di queste musiche, le scompone e intorno crea un’atmosfera destrutturata fatta di una dark ambient dagli echi quasi jazz noir …

“Three-Body Problem†reviewed by Rockerilla
La sempre splendida terra del Portogallo viene associata al Fado come principale stile musicale. In realtà anche in queste lande ci sono i più svariati generi e c’è anche chi destruttura completamente la musica, asciugandola del tutto e da lì estrapola qualche suono per nuove forme di contemporanea. In questo sono maestri gli @C, due …
