Bruno Duplant’s “Sombres Miroirs” reviewed by The Sound Projector

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, …

Morten Riis’s “Lad enhver lyd minde os om” reviewed by The Sound Projector

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”.

David Lee Myers’s “Strange Attractors” reviewed by Music Map

Alcuni concetti sono ricorrenti perché affascinano numerosi artisti. David Lee Myers ne riapre uno spesso frequentato di recente, grazie alle continue conferme dalla fisica quantistica: il tempo non esiste. Noi siamo organismi che crescono e cambiano, in un prima e in un dopo. Ma quello che misuriamo è un continuum. Giorno e notte li consideriamo …

Miguel A. García’s “Eraginie” reviewed by Vital Weekly

Miguel A. García is an artist living in Bilbao who works in experimental music and sound art. He is active in various groups or collectives and is also known under his other project name, Xedh.
