I didn’t realise: Philippe Petit started DJing on the radio and editing fanzines in 1983, and now, forty years later, he is still active. In between, he ran a record label, Bip Hop, but in recent years, he has only been active as a composer. For his new release, he takes his inspiration from Dante …

Abbiamo incrociato la traiettoria artistica di Luca Forcucci con il precedente e riuscito esperimento di field recording totale De Rerum Natura, esperienza sonora di immersione tridimensionale nella foresta pluviale brasiliana. Nonostante il contenuto acustico in quell’occasione fosse perfettamente intellegibile, già si intuiva una sensibilità “manipolatoria”, desiderio di aumentare le possibilità sonore della realtà attraverso lo zampino …

There is a whole line of field recordings that are not “found” at all; that is, they are not the result of psychogeographic wanderings, but, on the contrary, are carefully prepared and have well-defined places and situations as their object. During a three-month artistic residency in the summer of 2019 in Glenfiddich (Dufftown, Scotland), Marla …

Chi ha giocato al primo ”Silent Hill”? Un videogioco del 1999 che si incentra sull’orrore psicologico, in cui un uomo si ritrova in una città fantasma, dove accadono cose inquietanti nella nebbia. “Silent Hill” è stato apprezzato anche da David Lynch, tanto per dire che di che atmosfere parliamo. Miguel A. García, che si fa …

Another splendid work by Bruno Duplant, one of my current personal favourites of enigmatic and sometimes minimal composition. His Sombres Miroirs (CRONICA 188-2022) is, by his standards, positively teeming with activity and events, and in this floating richness we can hear everything from backwards orchestras to uncertain cosmic gyrations – planets spinning or nebulae drifting into the distance. Profound, …

Quite nice short tape experiments from Morten Riis on his cassette Lad Enhver Lyd Minde Os Om(CRÓNICA 186-2022). He did it using modified four-track cassette recorders and his own home-made synths, although the press notes are a little short on specifics, and refer us to mysterious processes such as “media and the human-object participatory democracy”. I suppose this may …
