“Three-Body Problem” reviewed by RifRaf

Juin, mois des chouchous. En provenance du Portugal, précisément du Théâtre de Marionnettes de Porto. Abonné depuis leur ‘Ab OVO’ de 2014, le duo @C renouvelle l’expérience sur ‘Three Body Problem’ (Crónica, plus que jamais). Les premiers instants sont énigmatiques, le temps de défricher le terrain. De percevoir les acquaintances avec Peter Rehberg, de se …

“Bittersweet Melodies” reviewed by RNE3 Atmosfera

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. …

“Bittersweet Melodies” reviewed by Aural Aggravation

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 …

New release: @c’s “Three-Body Problem”

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. Three-Body Problem was (re)composed after …

“Bittersweet Melodies” reviewed by Blow Up

Slavin combina musica e video e ha un curriculum niente male. Questi sono pezzi rimasti non pubblicati nell’ultima dozzina d’anni. Pur nella varietà di sonorità e riferimenti si avverte una unità di fondo, une stile, forse meno appariscente di quanto sia in sostanza. Notevole il piglio narrativo, quasi un susseguirsi di scorci cinematografici o polaroid. …

“Bittersweet Melodies” reviewed by Amusio

Der Israeli Ran Slavin ist in erster Instanz Multimedia-Künstler. Und weiterhin Musiker. Im weitesten Sinne. Sein Schaffen ist von arglistiger Täuschung sowie didaktischer Raffinesse gekennzeichnet. Die für ihn charakteristische Trennung von realen und irrealen Räumlichkeiten sowie das prozessuale Verfassen von sichtbar unsichtbar gemachten Zuständen schlägt sich auch auf seinem bereits elften Studioalbum nieder. Bittersweet Memories …
