Gintas K is perhaps the best known of this lot, or perhaps to the readers of Vital Weekly. He has released a whole bunch of CDRs before, and I believe this is first real CD, a double right away. It displays both sides of his work. ‘Lengvai’, which translates as ‘easily’, shows his more up-tempo, …

This release is a very interesting collection of experimental productions, esoteric and diluted in their sequences, abstractions with an envirnmental slant and dream-like in the tracks of P. Grabowski, a Polish-born composer who works with the netlabel “Silence is Not Empty”. The tracks by J. Mantas (The Beautiful Schizophonic) are equally rarefied. Hi introduces us …
En seulemeent deux ans, le label portugais Crónica s’est imposé comme une plateforme majeure pour tout ce qui concerne les productions à la limite du conceptuel. C’est-à -dire qui tiennent autant de la démarche artistique que des manipulations électroniques. Après les collages/décollages du plasticien Pedro Tudela (On Paper), les autopsies numériques d’@c (Hard Disk) et les …
Il y a un peu plus de six mois, on découvrait Heimir Björgulfsson, déjà chez Cronica aux côtés de Pimmon et Helgi Thorsson pour un live à trois, arrangé par Main. Au sein du trio, on avait un peu de mal à dissocier le travail de chacun, mais il s’agissait là de l’un des disques …
L’Australiano Lawrence English pubblica questo nuovo lavoro partorito in 2 mesi nel suo tour in Asia. Una raccolta delle esperienze vissute, e trasposte in musica alla sua maniera. Un laptop, una chitarra e pochi altri strumenti suonati dal vivo. I suoni sintetizzati al massimo, le atmosfere cupe e rarefatte. Largo spazio all’immaginazione, che si perde …

Ultimo lavoro in ordine di tempo per l’apprezzato Lawrence English, un’amalgama di suoni ben posizionati, raccolti durante un viaggio durato due mesi che ha toccato l’Asia e la Nuova Zelanda. Tutto confezionato per un live che lo vede protagonista solo con una chitarra un laptop e pochi altri ‘strumenti’. In alcuni passaggi, purtroppo, le composizioni …

King Glitch, Herrscher über irrsinnige Elektronika und abgedroschene Tracktitel, feiert seinen Einstand bei Crónica. Den beschließt er mit einem ordentlichen Ritt durch ein wildes Sammelsurium der musikalischen Zepter schwingend auf einer von ihm selbst erfunden Tonleiter. Ob es dabei num um die “Elephantitus of the armpit, Midget in my car” oder “Handclaps of fury” geht, …
Freiband e Boca Raton sono due progetti elettronici ideati dagli olandesi Frans de Waard e Martijn Tellinga, autori rispettivamente di Replay e Crop, performances registrate dal vivo all’edizione 2004 dell’EARATIONAL festival di musica elettronica di ‘s-Hertogenbosch in Olanda. Pubblicato dalla Cronica, Product ritrae le due esecuzioni. Qui abbiamo a che fare con due esempi di …

After a highly interesting and surprising debut (see review on this website), Autodigest presents their second work. This time it is released on both Cronica and Ash International. While the first work focussed on highly processed and very abstract digital sounds, this work is a bit less intense. The CD contains one long track that …
Crónica, the fine Portugese label, always seems to find artists which are new to me. Tilia is one Alexander Peterhaensel, a composer from Cologne, who had various works on labels as 12Rec/Rotesonne, Subway Records and Rattay, which all have escaped this listener. Originally ‘Vous Rêves/ Vous Ne Rêves Pas’ (meaning ‘you are dreaming/you are not …
