Philippe Petit’s “A Divine Comedy” reviewed by Anxious

Philippe Petit zainspirował się poematem Dantego Alighieri i ilustracjami Gustave’a Doré, budując symfoniczną „paletę” muzycznych barw, obrazowych tonów i tekstur, które godzą epicką narrację i ekspresjonistyczną formę muzyczną. Jego celem nie jest ilustrowanie, ale raczej opowiadanie historii alternatywnego świata, który jest wprawiany w ruch poprzez zwracanie uwagi na percepcję i uczucia słuchaczy. Momenty w tej historii są zszywane we wciągającą podróż kolorowej muzyki, którą słuchacze przemierzają tak, jakby …

Philippe Petit’s “A Divine Comedy” reviewed by Westzeit

PHILIPPE PETITs 90-Minuten-Dante-Adaption “A Divine Comedy” (Crónica) ist eine KlangCollage über die Stufen hinab in den innersten Kreis der Hölle (und vielleicht auch zurück, das lassen wir mal offen). Obschon durchaus von gewohnt hoher Petit-Qualität, hinterließ das ElektroKunstWerk bei mir aber doch den bösen Verdacht, dass ich solcherlei KlangSchnipseleien vielleicht nicht die gleiche Ruhe, Aufmerksamkeit …

Philippe Petit’s “A Divine Comedy” reviewed by De Subjectivisten

Zodra de naam Philippe Petit opduikt, mag je de oren spitsen. Zeker als je voor de meer avontuurlijke muziek gaat. Dat geldt niet eens alleen voor zijn eigen muziek of die hij maakt met Strings Of Consciousness of zijn bevriende artiesten, waaronder K11, Lydia Lunch, Cosey Fanni Tuti, Cindytalk, PAS, Ron Anderson, Robert L. Pepper, …

Sun Dog’s “Col des Tempètes” reviewed by The Sound Projector

Nice piece of voice-with-electronics improvisation by Sun Dog, the team of ErikM and Isabelle Duthoit. Col Des Tempètes (CRONICA ELECTRONICA 192-2022) comes to us from January 2022 and ErikM points out that it’s one in an informal series of such voice-collaborations he’s worked on, including ones with Phil Minton and Catherine Jauniaux. Duthoit comes to us from a classical music background and …

Philippe Petit’s “A Divine Comedy” reviewed by Vital Weekly

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 …

Luca Forcucci’s “Terra” reviewed by The New Noise

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 …

Marla Hlady & Christof Migone’s “Swan Song” reviewed by Neural

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 …

Miguel A. García’s “Eraginie” reviewed by Music Map

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 …
