“A Compressed History of Everything Ever Recorded, vol.2: Ubiquitous Eternal Live†reviewed by Rockerilla
La Crónica si sta velocemente imponendo all’attenzione degli appasionati di ellettronica ‘colta’ grazie a pubblicazioni che cercano di rimettere in gioco il discorso intrapeso dal movimento glitch. (…) Il secondo volume realizzato dal progetto Autodigest prosegue invece all’insegna dell’eccedenza: un’unica traccia interamente registrata con applausi e urla del pubblico, un progressivo climax che, come è …
“A Compressed History of Everything Ever Recorded, vol.2: Ubiquitous Eternal Live†reviewed by Chain DLK
Accompanied by mysterious pictures of nearly deserted places, but with a blurred photo of a cheering crowd in a stadium or concert hall, Autodigest’s new installment is a tough one to, ahem, digest. Conceived as a “history of audience applause” (“Somewhere along the way, we seem to have forgotten what exactly we were cheering for… …

At first, it makes you think of a bad joke or a divertissement: an infinite round of cheer and applause sampled from live recordings, more or less the same for long minutes. Then you notice it: there’s a drone – a dark, deep growl – lurking under all this mess. The low buzz slowly grows, …

Avec leur projet conceptuel plutôt dingue capable de jouer des concerts d’une seconde comme de compresser en un seul album toute l+histoire de la musique, les Portugais anonymes d’Autodigest poursuivent leur exploration des limites de la composition à l’heure où quelques secondes suffisent à télécharger un titre qu’il faudra cinq minutes pour écouter, et peut-être …

In den Diskursen der Photographie und der bildenden Kunst geht die Idee ja schon etwas länger um: die Aufstellung eines Kanons, einer Bibliothek von archetypischen Bildern, die individuelle Bildproduktion eventuell einmal überflüssig machen. Ein erhellendes Beispiel aus den 60er Jahren ist Hans-Peter Feldmanns “Bilderfundus” aus vermeintlich unkünstlerischen Babyphotos und Passbildern, der Fragen über die Wahrnehmung …
“A Compressed History of Everything Ever Recorded, vol.2: Ubiquitous Eternal Live†reviewed by DeBug
Mit diesem Release darf ich mich zur Gruppe der Legastheniker zählen. Wider besseren Wissens versucht die Wahrnehmung mir zu vermitteln, dass da Audiogeist und nicht Autodigest steht. Diese Unverbesserlichkeit liegt vermutlich darin begründet, dass der hier anzutreffende einstündige Applaus natürlich noch eine weitere Ebene in sich birgt. Es wird nicht die Art Applaus nachvollzogen, die …
“A Compressed History of Everything Ever Recorded, vol.2: Ubiquitous Eternal Live†reviewed by Blow Up
Questo Autodigest inizia a starmi parecchio simpatico. II primo volume della sua storia compressa di tutto quello che è stato registrato (BU#69) conteneva una poltiglia indistinta di noise digitale alternata da stasi ambientali, a significare il riassunyo, ‘velocizzato’ e iper-condcnsato, di tutti i materiali musicali registrati nella storia della musica (!), come se 1’autore avesse …
“Product 05†reviewed by Phosphor
This is a ‘two-for-one’ CD containing a live set each from Freiband and Boca Raton. Freiband’s contribution sounds like it is derived primarily from the manipulation of various parameters of short loops. On some pieces these manipulations are themselves looped in repetitive patterns. These loop parameters and patterns are then gradually extrapolated (I wonder if …

Crónica’s arch satirists Autodigest serve up a second volume of postmodern pranks. Last year’s Volume 1 took as its theme the reduction of real huma experience to data streams and binary code, resulting in a sonic illustration of a world sucked down a technological plughole. funny and frightening as the concept was, the spluttering digital …
