Máquina Magnética reviewed by Silence and Sound

Collectif formé par Pedro Tudela (électronique), Miguel Carvalhais (électronique), Gustavo Costa (percussions) et Rodrigo Carvalho (vidéo), Máquina Magnética est un projet qui fait se rencontrer les approches musicales de chaque artiste, appuyé par des projections aux allures cinétiques.  Sur Máquina Magnética, organique et électronique repoussent les frontières, créant des espaces futuristes flirtant avec un futurisme sombre, où pulsations tournoyantes et expérimentations parasites se cèdent la place et …

Gustavo Costa, einer der Köpfe des Sonoscopia-Kollektivs in Porto, der als Drummer mit acoustic & electro-mechanic percussion schlagwerkt, hat sich seit den frühen 90ern vom schlimmen Finger mit Genocide und Malevolence zum engagierten Free Jazzer und Improvcrack gemausert, mit Red Albinos, Radial Chao Opera oder Lost Gorbachevs („From Neoliberalism to Totalitarian Capitalism“), als Most People Have …

Yiorgis Sakellariou’s “Degti” reviewed by Against the Silence

Ένα έργο αποτελείται από μια ιδέα η οποία ξετυλίγεται στο χρόνο για να μας τυλίξει σε ένα δικό της χώρο εντός της. Στην πειραματική μουσική, όπως και στα εικαστικά, πολλές φορές οι νέες ιδέες που παρουσιάζονται μόνο νέες δεν είναι. Λογικό, θα έλεγε μια κυνική φωνή εφόσον έχουν παιχτεί όλα.

David Lee Myers’s “Reduced to a Geometrical Point” reviewed by Beach Sloth

David Lee Myers continues his legend with the meditative suites of “Reduced to a Geometrical Point”. Noise music, at least for the aficionados, can be seen to be the other side of that ambience coin.

David Lee Myers’s “Reduced to a Geometrical Point” reviewed by Vital Weekly

Sometimes I need to repeat myself (I don’t mind), and surely I wrote the next thing before: ever since I stumbled upon music by David Lee Myers, I am a big fan. I guess it was already with his LP, ‘Engine Of Myth, for the unlikely label Recommended Records (not always known for the most …
