Und da wir ohnehin schon auf Ambientabwegen sind, können wir schließlich noch die CD »Transmissions« von Mathias Delpanque dazu packen. Die ist, was die Genreheimat betrifft, hier nun wirklich fehl am Platz, denn der Franzose Delplanque macht in Elektroinstallationen, basierend auf Maschinensounds, also Webstühle, Drehbänke, Schweißgeräte, Kreissägen und was es sonst noch hinter schmutzigen Fabrikfassaden …

“Transmissions†reviewed by Rif Raf
Alors que ses ‘Chutes’ de 2013 ne nous avaient que moyennement convaincus, pour ne pas dire autre chose, le cru 2014 du producteur français est d’un tout autre acabit. Tout en jouant avec les codes et astuces du bruit et du concret, ses ‘Transmissions’ (Crónica) varient à la fois les formes et le fond. D’entrée, …
“Ab OVO†reviewed by Ear Influxion
Ab OVO originally came to be as the score for a performance by the puppet theater of Porto, developed in late 2011 and early 2012. For this post-mortem recorded edition, the experimental duo of Miguel Carvalhais and Pedro Tudela reworked the 19 compositions that constituted most of the play’s sound into this more concise, 6-track …
“Transmissions†reviewed by Onda Rock
Dopo il sorprendente passaggio organico di “Chutes†offerto a Baskaru l’anno scorso, Mathias Delplanque torna ad accasarsi presso il più austero catalogo Crónica sul quale aveva già visto la luce il lodato “Passeportsâ€, contravvenendo pure alla sua usuale anti-prolificità . Sulla sound art in perenne equilibrio fra field recordings e soundscape digitali del portoghese il discorso …

“Lemuria†reviewed by Neural
This project is authored by Giovanni Lami and Enrico Coniglio, recorded by Miguel Carvalhais and enriched by the charming artwork of Dead Meat. The vinyl edition of Lemuria immediately grabbed our attention with its universe of sounds. These recordings were not made in a studio, but in an abandoned house and have a certain ‘clotted’ …

“Transmissions†reviewed by Monsieur Délire
A new CD by electroacoustician Mathias Delplanque, based this time on sounds from industrial machines – looms and machine-tools. Four pieces: three short ones and a final 40-minute track. The first three pieces are like hors-d’œuvres: sophisticated and elegant. “Part 4†is a monster. You step inside it unsuspecting, as it starts pretty much like …

“Transmissions†reviewed by Rockerilla
Ci sono voluti sei anni a Mathias Delplanque per ultimare il suo nuovo lavoro, Transmissions, da poco pubblicato dalla sempre attiva etichetta portoghese Cronica. Le prime due tracce in scaletta sono nate su Musée du Textile of Cholet nel 2008: suoni meccanici che diventano nei laboratori di Delplanque sinfonie sottomarine in grado di svelare i …

“Transmissions†reviewed by KindaMuzik
Mathias Delplanque maakt industrial. Niet van die bonkmuziek in vierkwartsmaats, al dan niet opgesmukt met metalen gitaren en nihilistische eindtijdlyriek. Hij presenteert ware industriële composities: drie korte en een heel lang stuk opgebouwd uit veldopnamen van machinegeluid. Zo te horen is de machinerie in het Textielmuseum van Cholet in prima geoliede conditie. Het raderwerk knarst …

“Concret-Sens†reviewed by The Sound Projector
In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in the techniques of musique concrète and electro-acoustic composition. A substantial reissue program from Editions Mego and subsequent attention from outside the fields of modern composition has brought particular attention to Groupes Researches de Musicales, Pierre Schaeffer’s influential research organization. Yet, rather than considering the …
