Quello musicale è solamente un aspetto dell’attività creativa di Ran Slavin, artista multimediale israeliano con base a Tel Aviv. Le sue installazioni sono esattamente come potreste immaginarle ascoltando i suoi dischi: luci al neon e paesaggi distopici.

X-RUN-4 Prismatique by Ulrich Mitzlaff
Martijn Tellinga is wellicht nog het beste te omschrijven met de titel ‘geluidskunstenaar’, want ofschoon hij componist is, schiet de klassieke connotatie bij die titel tekort. Simpelweg omdat Tellinga het allemaal net iets anders aanpakt. Zijn stukken worden steevast niet op het concertpodium gespeeld, veelal zijn er geen partituren en de stukken worden ook lang …
Un tour du côté de 2010, embranchement vers les tops de l’année. Tout en haut de l’échelle, là où les espoirs de disques indémodables tentent de préfigurer l’avenir. Elle se dessinait aux sons d’une ambient venue d’Israël, mise en abime par RAN SLAVIN, sous le nom bienvenu de ‘The Mediterranean Drift’. Six ans plus loin, …

Bittersweet Melodies supone su undécimo álbum, un trabajo que se sumerge los atardeceres ambient, el negro Oriente Medio, zonas tranquilas con atmósferas utópicas o ritmos low-fi muy fracturados. Encontramos en este Bittersweet Melodies material inédito disperso por discos duros relacionadas con una publicación con Mille Plateaux hace 12 años, justo antes de su inesperado cierre. …

Given Ran Slavin’s broad artistic pursuits, which span video installation, sound and film, and his far-reaching interests which manifest in the exploration of the tensions between opposites, Bittersweet Melody is something of a summation of his preoccupations. Just as ‘bittersweet’ is one of those words that encapsulates contradiction and juxtaposition, so Slavin’s latest album is …

Three-Body Problem is @c’s sixteenth full-length album, and their eighth in Crónica. Like the previous Ab OVO, this album started as a soundtrack for the puppet theatre play Agapornis, premièred by the Teatro de Marionetas do Porto in October 2014, and inspired in the life and works of Anaïs Nin.
