Antithesis (C 253) zeigt ROEL MEELKOP in Rotterdam freiweg philosophisch auf der Suche nach Auswegen aus Platons Höhle und weg von Irrwegen. Nicht stur und mit Scheuklappen vorwärts, sondern mit Augen für den zurückgelegten Weg, für Alternativen links und rechts, für die grauen Streifen im Schwarzweiß. ‘Antipátheia’ = Widerwillen, ‘Antiēchos’ = Widerhall, ‘Antikeímenon’ = Gegensatz, …

We are delighted to announce the second release by Jérôme Noetinger in Crónica, this time in a collaboration with Christian Malfray, aka Les Persécutions de Strasbourg. Malfray manipulates filters and oscillators within a carefully arranged feedback loop to make various resonators ring out and sing. Noetinger plays recordings, Revox, CDJ and modular synthesiser, channelling also the sound …
Mysterious Heart is a dance piece by choreographer Tânia Carvalho, created for Tanzmainz at the Staatstheater Mainz in 2023–24. The music composed for this project was conceived from the outset with a certain autonomy from the choreography.

HANNES STROBL führt mit Cais do Sodré (C 244) nach Lissabon, zur Fähre über den Tejo. Mit O-Ton von dort, den er in Berlin elektroakustisch gemischt hat mit Basssound und Electronics. Metallisches Dongen und Gedröhn wird durchschossen wie von blitzenden Pulverblättchen. Metalloider Klingklang rauscht auf und glockenspielt, kleine Pfiffe repetieren, Saiten harfen und zirpen, das Dröhnen dopplert. …

We’re very happy to present the new album by Emiter, Electromagnetism of the City. This album is composed from the broad range of noises that surround us in contemporary urban life, on the impulses, discharges, and harmonies of the city. Emiter explores feedbacks, noises, densities, and how streets are like a circuit board where houses are chips and …

If the world were a little quieter, perhaps we’d hear it breathing. Kunrad, the Dutch artist who listens more intently than most, has spent years amplifying the hushed murmurs of everyday materials – water, paper, brass, and stone – transforming them into poetic gestures of sound. “Kleine Geluiden” (“Small Sounds”) is not just an album …

In their collaboration as @c, Pedro Tudela and Miguel Carvalhais developed several installations, often site-specific and ephemeral works. This series of releases in Crónica is dedicated to revisiting these installation works, occasionally with situ recordings, but also further exploring the computational systems developed for the works, archival materials, and other assets, presenting new compositions that unfold …
