“Urban Dialog†reviewed by Sigil of Brass
I have to state that I am a little bit in love with this album. Fusing Found Sound and composed media, Tamtam’s work “Urban Dialog†is a series of compositions that have a common thread of being based on field recordings from different urban situations. For each piece a set of sounds is chosen and …

“X-RUN-4 Prismatique†reviewed by Chain DLK
Background noises get typically considered a disturbing element of live recordings, but I won’t say the same for this output, capturing a solo improvisational session by German (even if he resides in Lisbon since a long time) cellist and composer Ulrich Mitzlaff in a spacey hall nearby the motorway close to Humberto Delgado Airport in …

“Geography†reviewed by Rockerilla
Continua la sequenza di interessanti pubblicazioni della lusitana Cronica che per l’occasione propone il nuovo lavoro di Vitor Joaquim, ispiratissimo artista portoghese che compone anche per documentari, video installazioni e altro ancora. Quando poi dal vivo non è supportato da immagini, Joaquim ama esibirsi completamente al buio proprio perché vuole stimolare la fantasia e i …
“Bittersweet Melodies†reviewed by Kathodik
Album numero undici per il musicista/video artist/film maker israeliano Ran Slavin. “Bittersweet Melodies†mette in circolo materiali persi e sparsi composti nell’ultima dozzina di anni, lucidati e rimasterizzati. Una raccolta che nonostante il divario temporale che separa una traccia dall’altra, denota una discreta personalità , non appariscente ma di solida tensione unitaria. Stratificazione di segnali altamente …

“Three-Body Problem†reviewed by Amusio
Das nunmehr sechzehnte Album der portugiesischen Klang-Extremisten @C fußt auf Agapornis, einem Stück des Marionettentheaters Porto, das sich 2014 dem Leben und Werk der Anaïs Nin widmete. Man wäre gerne dabei gewesen, das Dreikörperproblem des Albumtitels dürfte also metaphorisch zu verstehen sein. Dabei vollzieht sich das Album auf drei Ebenen: Als Bühnenmusik, als deren Rekomposition …

“Geography†reviewed by Silence and Sound
Chez Joaquim Vitor, infiniment grand et infiniment petit forment un tout qui aime se conjuguer au pluriel, faisant valser les concepts d’intériorité et de spatialisation, de collage et de de mémoire, pour un assemblage qui voit sa propre histoire fusionner avec celle plus vaste de l’humanité. Les interférences semant le désordre sont agencées de telle …

“Geography†reviewed by Amusio
Preziosen wie Laurie Anderson, Simon Fischer Turner oder Harald “Sack†Ziegler schmücken Geography (Crónica), das neue Album des portugiesischen Klangeroberers Vitor Joaquim. Und das alles „nur“, um in Folge der Ãœberlegungen des Biogeographen Jared Diamond seinem Wunsch zu entsprechen, sich den Vollzugsweisen der Verortung nähern zu können. Wie zuvor den emotionalen Haushalten (Flow) oder der …
“Roha†reviewed by Neural
Roha is the first solo album by Andreas Trobollowitsch, ex member of the duo Nörz and Acker Velvet, a musician and Vienna-based composer, performer and sound artist that, in collaboration with David Schweighart, composed the soundtrack for the 1920’s cinema series Digi Wave for the Filmarchiv, Austria. Compared with its past works the free form …
