Blinding flashes, quick mirages and sad memories seem to be what Ran Slavin builds upon. Here he presents two works, “Tropical agent” and “Ears in water”; both parts very well functioning as “active ambient” material, perfect to be listened during other activities – nevertheless, the care in assembling sounds is total, guaranteeing a stimulating perspective …

This disc published on the Portuguese Crónica Electronica label, is a collaborative project between the sound artists Paulo Raposo [who runs the Sirr.ecords label] from Lisbon, Portugal and the German Marc Behrens [Raster Noton, Trente Oiseaux, Sirr.ecords] from Darmstadt. This disc has its origins in the CD “0.000” of the Japanese Nosei Sakata, aka *0 …

Einer dieser remixer war Marc Behrens, mit dem wir schon mal einen der an dieser CD beteiligen Künstler beisammen hätten. Jener war dann vom Ergebnis der Remixarbeiten so begeistert, dass er diese Remixe erneut als Grundlage für einen erneuten Remix hernahm. Irgendwann stiess Paulo Raposo zu diesem kreativen Prozess hinzu, alles steigerte sich immer mehr …

Au premier abord on a l’impression d’avoir en écoute un long bidouillage électronique ponctué de drones empruntés et lunaires. En fait il faut bien avoir à l’esprit le concept de l’élaboration de ce disque. Une démarche qui se rapproche plus des concepts de l’art ou de la musique contemporaine. Un musique concrète qui fait fi …

Further Consequences of Reinterpretation is (to put it in a simplistic way) the remix of a remix of a remix of nothing. The starting point for this project was Nosei Sakata’s album 0.000 (which contains only sounds outside the human hearing range), of which Behrens produced a reinterpretative piece titled “>0″ and included on a …

Questo CD è il frutto di un processo di ‘rielaborazioni a catena’ che, teoricamente, potrebbe protrarsi all’infinito. Il punto da cui tutto è partito è “0.000†di *0 (il giapponese Nosei Sakata) che, stando alle note di copertina, era praticamente prossimo al silenzio assoluto. Sakata aveva chiesto ad altri artisti di reinterpretare quei suoni, n’era …

Erinnert sich noch jemand an die Reinterpretationsgeschichte “*o-o.ooo-Inflation”? Künstler wie Merzbow, Roden, Mathieu, Behrens, Deupree, Chartier, Cascone und einige mehr interpretierten auf 2 CDs Soundmaterial des Japaners *o, welches ausserhalb des menschlichen Hörvermögens lag. Marc Behrens und Paulo Rapposo verarbeiteten vorangegangene Interpretationen wiederum einige Male, und heraus kam diese CD, aufgenommen bei einer Live-Performance der …

Marc Behrens s’était alors soumis à l’époque au jeu de l’instrospection musicale à l’ocassion d’un remix donnant son point de vue sur ce travail éminemment minimaliste. Portée par une réflexion sur les marges extrême de l’áudible, à savoir les infra-sons, aussi précieux à Ryoji Ikeda qu’ils sont abhorrés par les orthophonistes, Marc Behrens a souhaité …

This whistling, whirring exploration of silence is at times very noisy indeed. Mostly, however, it exists in some hinterland space designed to make us feel uneasy, tapping and tugging at the senses like an icy liquid dropping slowly on to an exposed nerve. The reinterpretation made here is of Nosei Sakata’s “0.000”, a CD containing …

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 …
