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 …

The album is a concise 35 minutes, with 8 different pieces within its running time. My initial impression of the album is …

“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 …
