“Roha” reviewed by Musique Machine

Andreas Trobollowitsch is an avant garde composer previously heard in the band Acker Velvet, whose debut was released in 2012. “Roha” is his only solo full length, as far as I can ascertain. The album is a concise 35 minutes, with 8 different pieces within its running time. My initial impression of the album is …

Another fresh one from the Portuguese Cronica imprint is “Three-Body Problem”, the sixteenth – sic! – full-length album composed by @c which is based on the music the duo of Pedro Tudela and Miguel Carvalhais composed for the puppet theatre play “Agapornis” back in 2014.

“Roha” reviewed by Kindamuzik

Wat het is, is het. Weinig meer moet dat zijn voor Andreas Trobollowitsch. Zijn gevonden geluiden worden nauwelijks door de mangel gehaald. Hij componeert en improviseert ze tot narratieven waarin een organische verteltrant afgewisseld wordt met druk hak-op-de-tak-gekakel van een warhoofd. ROHA richt de oren echter vooral naar het grote talent van Trobollowitsch om het …

“Three-Body Problem” reviewed by Black Audio

‘Three Body Problem’ is the 16th album from this duo; and their longevity has to be commended, considering the obscurity of their releases. Like their previous release ‘Ab Ovo’, this latest output started as music formulated for a puppet theatre play ‘Agapornis’. This however, was recomposed after the event and is now its own soundtrack. …

“Roha” reviewed by Black Audio

The field of electroacoustic music has its fair share of garbage, as it does those that are truly inspirational; Andreas Trobollowitsch sits pointing towards the former, just left of the middle ground. Processing acoustic instrumentation with electronics is an art in itself, if the producer is to create anything of actual value; and when Andreas …

“Bittersweet Melodies” reviewed by Black Audio

Slavin returns with his 11th studio album, fixated with Crime time ambient poster sunsets and middle-eastern noire; opening up with Saturday’s Dress’, awash with ambient sub-textures and wiry electronic low-fi scratches. The lounge electronica of ‘Category: Murder Entertainers’ sets the scene for the rest of the album. With stop/start loops and a nostalgic veil over …
