Mathias Delplanque’s “Témoins” reviewed by Aural Aggravation

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 26 January 2018

Mark E Smith has died. It shouldn’t come as a surprise. In fact, the surprise should be that he didn’t die sooner. But I can’t help but be shaken by the news. It doesn’t feel appropriate to post any music reviews: my social media streams are aclog with tributes to Smith, and it feels wrong […]

Tarab + Artificial Memory Trace’s “Obex” reviewed by Chain DLK

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 15 January 2018

Sonic experimenters Slavek Kwi (Artificial Memory Trance) and Tarab have engaged in a kind of cultural exchange whereby they provided objects and activity sounds to one another, irregularly transforming them into amended sonic products that would then be recycled into other noises. The result is a hard-edged, heavily-processed hour long collection of processed noises, often […]

Tarab + Artificial Memory Trace’s “Obex” reviewed by Aural Aggravation

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 14 January 2018

There’s something seriously awry with my promo download of the album. The tracks won’t play any audio, and instead flit by as if scrolling, searching through a menu on fast-forward. It’s a disorientating experience, and frustrating. But my curiosity I piqued, and so I feel compelled to piece together a review from the sources I […]

Mathias Delpanque’s “Témoins” reviewed by Vital

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 12 January 2018

Following a number of releases some time ago by Mathias Delplanque it became quiet or perhaps not all of his releases reached me. Here we have a new work from him, his third on Cronica Electronica. Delplanque, born in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in 1973, works very much with digital means, either under his own or […]

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 10 January 2018

Graeme Truslove from Glasgow, is in the spotlight for his Crónica Electrónica and his album Intuited Architectures, which is divided into six different mainly electronic and electroacoustic tracks.

Graeme Truslove’s “Intuited Architectures” reviewed by The Sound Projector

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 18 December 2017

Cabinets stuffed with academic credentials and accolades, Glasgow-based Graeme Truslove is a seasoned sonic scientist; using metaphorical microscope to illuminate the sub-cellular dimension’s peculiar turns of phrase, weaving these into chaotic tapestries with which he invades performance spaces. He may not be the first to have covered the cline between fixed-medium electroacoustics and real-time sound […]

Monty Adkins’s “Shadows and Reflections” reviewed by FullMoon

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 6 December 2017

Kalifornská dvojice Freescha kdysi pojmenovala jednu ze svých desek Slower Than Church Music. K mixu downtempa a IDM ve stylu Boards of Canada ten název seděl jako ulitý, a kdyby už nebyl zabraný, skvěle by se hodil i k novince britského skladatele Montyho Adkinse. Ta má navíc chrámový rozměr zabudovaný přímo ve své DNA – […]
