Rutger Zuydervelt & Bruno Duplant’s “L’incertitude†reviewed by Ambientblog
It’s a funny need to want to introduce an artist in every blog-post but by now I can safely assume that Rutger ‘Machinefabriek‘ Zuydervelt needs no further introduction. And, with over 60 albums released since 2009, Bruno Duplant should need no introduction either – although I must confess his name is not very familiar to me. Shame on me, …
Rutger Zuydervelt & Bruno Duplant’s “L’incertitude†reviewed by African Paper
Crónica veröffentlicht das erste gemeinsame Tape der Musiker und Komponisten Bruno Duplant und Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek). Das Album besteht aus zwei längeren Tracks, deren auf meist akustischen Instrumenten, zahlreichen Field Recordings und mehrfacher Bearbeitung basierende Sounds von einer trügerischen Scheinharmonie sind. “L’incertitude, is Bruno Duplant and Rutger Zuydervelt’s first album as a duo. It came …
Rutger Zuydervelt & Bruno Duplant’s “L’incertitude†reviewed by Vital Weekly
Collaborations are another thing that is on Zuydervelt’s plate for many years; with Gareth Davies, Tim Catlin, Subterreanact, Anne Bakker, Chris Dooks and loads more (I thought for once not to mention the more famous ones). This was mostly as ‘Machinefabriek & …’ but maybe it’s wiser, if the other also doesn’t use a project …
SÃria’s “Boa-LÃngua†reviewed by Silence and Sound
Le nouvel opus de Diana Combo alias SÃria, prend racines dans des exercices vocaux dont l’intention de départ n’était pas d’en faire des morceaux, mais qui le sont devenus par la force des choses. La volonté et l’inconscient font parfois faire des choses qui nous dépassent, il n’y a qu’à se laisser guider par ces forces intérieures qui …

SÃria’s “Boa-LÃngua†reviewed by Groove
Die Portugiesin SÃria verwittert auf Boa-LÃngua (Crónica) ihre wunderschönen Gesangsstücke ebenfalls durch Rauschen und Feedback. Wo Craig noch hin und wieder ein Piano oder eine Akustikgitarre als harmonische Grundierung zulässt, vertraut Diana Combo fast ausschließlich der Kraft ihrer Stimme – und der Kraft der Nostalgie auf der Kippe in morbider Düsternis. Die eindeutige Melancholie der portugiesischen Volksmusik und die …

SÃria’s “Boa-LÃngua†reviewed by Kathodik
Il secondo album della sperimentatrice portoghese Diana Combo (aka SÃria / Eosin), amplia e sintetizza all’osso quanto di buono mostrato nel precedente “Cuspo†del 2018 (anche quello su Crónica e come questo, in limitata edizione su nastro, dunque, veloci…).Vinili manipolati, field recordings, metalli trattati, l’inaspettato, stralci di canzoni trovate/cantate, tutto in scultoreo fermo immagine da azione performativa (ovvia e prevista dalla Combo, …

Tamtam’s “A100†reviewed by Rimas e Batidas
Num momento singular na história moderna, as cidades esvaziaram-se de gente, o tráfego – aéreo, terrestre, marÃtimo – abrandou para nÃveis que não se registavam há décadas e, em consequência disso, entre variadÃssimas recuperações ao nÃvel ecológico, voltámos a ser confrontados com uma dimensão do silêncio há muito ausente dos grandes espaços urbanos. E este …

Philip Samartzis & Eric La Casa’s “Captured Space†reviewed by Dark Entries
Breekt het angstzweet u reeds uit wanneer u in deze tijd van lockdown denkt aan uw zomervakantie, die met de onzekerheid die er nog steeds heerst wel eens in het water zou kunnen vallen? De kans is groot. Moest een annulatie echt aan de orde zijn dan is de wetenschap dat u in het experimentele …

SÃria interviewed by Fifteen Questions
“SÃria was born out of the super power we have of transforming shit into magic and writing songs is a way to expand the palette of ideas, feelings and emotions, some of which I prefer not to express outside the music / artistic context.†Read the full interview at Fifteen Questions.
