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. La nuova prova di Alexander Peterhaensel, musicista di Monaco di Baviera oggi noto col moniket Tilia, presenta microscopiche intermittenze digitali e dolcissimi click che si incontrano con loop …

Tilia’s new album is the work of Alexander Peterhaensel, and Vous Rêvez/Vous Ne Rêvez Pas is a 3-track mini album, with an additional audio/video track of the same name – recorded in London and mixed in Cologne. Musically, Peterhaensal creates some fine lengthy, minimalist compositions here, using intricately placed samples and melodic piano loops. The …

Tilia is Alexander Peterhaensel, a composer from Munich who has released his music under various names for several years. ‘Vous revez…’ is Peterhaensel’s debut album under the name ‘Tilia’. The music on this album can be best described as ‘filmic’. Beautiful and melancholic piano loops are interluded with subtle effects, clicks, guitars and distant voices. …

@c si muove con disinvoltura tra le sua macchine, e Lia riesce a creare qualcosa di particolare giocando sugli effetti e sui riverberi di forme semplici e spettacolari. Curiosi? Giancarlo Currò
Pese a su cercanÃa, la escena experimental portuguesa goza de escasa difusión en España. Una auténtica lástima, pues se trata de una de las más activas y atractivas del sur de Europa. Queda esto claro en las últimas referencias del sello luso Crónica: tanto el colectivo audiovisual @c como Durán Vázquez – junto al australiano …
A tide of new producers increasingly peg their work as “experimental” although few it seems have meditated on what it means to generate such work. The cliché is that experimentalism is characterized by its difficulty. Experimentalism is that which challenges us in our listening practices or our expectations of structure and convention. However, when carpetbombing …
Ja, ich gebe zu, nachdem ich Crónica zunächst in die “Abgehobene Kunst”-Ecke gesteckt habe, muss ich wohl meine Meinung nach den letzten paar Releases etwas korrigieren. @c kannte ich bisher nur vom “On Paper” Sampler, der ebenfalls auf Crónica erschienen ist und unter anderem diese CD war Grund für meine bisherige Einschätzung. Ok, einfache Kost …
There’s a Quicktime movie on Two Novels too, an evocative hand-held camera night ride on the BMT Jamaica elevated subway. Brooklyn-based o.blaat, real name Keiko Uenishi, is best known for her interactive audio environments (including the reasonably self-explanatory “beat piece (with Ping-Pong game)” and “audio coat check”) but has laptopped her way throughout North America …

Sonorités extrèmes comme plus souples, ce O.Blaat et ses guest stars ont déployés toute une inventivité rythmique pour mettre au point une musique séquentielle à basse de sonorités distordues pour créer un environnement semi fragile. C’est l’absence de toute mélodies qui renforce le côté indus minimaliste de cette oeuvre. On assiste par le biais des …
