Ran Slavin is een artiest die al enige releases meegaat en deze nieuwe claim to fame laat zich op conceptueel vlak in twee mooie helften delen. Het had zowaar een goed idee geweest dit album op vinyl uit te geven… De eerste drie nummers (alle 6 hebben ze onmogelijke titles) drijven op een gevoel van …

La majorité des gens normalement constitués détestent les transports en commun : antithèse de la propreté, lieu de transit tout ce qu’il y a de plus impersonnel et moments d’attente bien souvent rédhibitoires. Les allégories ne manquent pas quand il s’agit d’évoquer cette institution pourtant au cÅ“ur de la vie de tous. Pourtant, au delà …

A moving reccord (pun intended). First, Mathias Delplanque made field recordings in transportation-related locations (train stations, harbours, parking lots, etc.) and in a call centre in India (which deserves Europe and America, hence its ties to the “transportation” theme). Then, he “moved” these recordings to his living room, playing them at home and recording that …

Mathias Delplanque sta vivendo un periodo di incontenibile creatività : solo nel 2010 sono già stati pubblicati due album (su Cronica e Bruit Claire) a suo nome più il dodici pollici di Lena recensito sullo scorso numero di Rockerilla . Questa la marcia in più di Delplanque, che a differenza di molti suoi colleghi che operano …
Il nuovo lavoro di Ran Slavin per la Cronica viene distribuito gratuitamente in formato digitale sul sito dell’etichetta portoghese. “The Mediterranean Drift†raccoglie sei tracce che vanno a formare quasi due diversi EP. I primi tre brani sono più atmosferici e dilatati. Soprattutto il primo, “Losing coordinates in the Mediterranean Driftâ€, mostra le notevoli qualità …

Beautiful and troubling record from Israeli electroacoustician Ran Slavin, on a marine theme that can easily be interpreted through the geopolitical lens (the track titles already open that window). 43 minutes of rich drones, fuzzy moods and textural experiments ranging from nostalgia (the liquid facet) to sorrow (the grating facet). The best thing is that …

Mosaique is electronician Jan Ferreira, whose previously released Filare (2008) on Crónica. Shattering Silence is a bold proposition that tries to do too much. It’s simply too long at 1h43min, it would have been better edited down to an hour. Some of the tracks seem to present the same ideas, despite the fact that the …

Wie aufregend und interessant Field-Recordings sein können, zeigt uns ein weiteres mal Marc Behrens. Auf einem Urlaub mit anderen Künstlern erforscht er die norwegische Wildnis im Frühling. Es geht um die Transformation, die Energie der erwachenden Natur und die Lebenskraft dieser Zeit. Sensibel werden die Aufnahmen vermischt und bearbeitet, so dass daraus Bewegung entsteht, die …
