New podcast: Arturas Bumšteinas
“Shadow (of Shadows)†for organ and electronics, Algirdas Biveinis (organ).
This piece was composed by Arturas BumÅ¡teinas in Warsaw, November 2010 and premiered by Algirdas Biveinis in Vilnius, December of the same year. The premiere took place in St. Johns’ church which accommodates the largest pipe organ in Lithuania. The concert was attended by a set of different people: few old couples, young family with children, a lost tourist, several friends and author’s father. Imagine a dark and freezing winter evening… Dark means pitch black and cold means -25°C. The piece was recorded with several portable recorders placed around the area of church, one extra microphone was placed outside the church to record the sounds of crows flying above the roofs of Vilnius’ old town.
Later, during mixing at home, a poem “Charge of the Light Brigade†written and recited by Alfred Lord Tennyson and a random female voice fragment from Youtube was added to the mix.
The piece itself is a harmonic analysis of Soviet Lithuania’s (1940-1990) anthem. It could be likened to a shadow which is cast by an object. In this piece’s case it’s a shadow of another shadow.

“Homem Fantasma†reviewed by Monsieur Délire
Le duo de Miguel Carvalhais et Pedro Tudela propose un long disque disponible gratuitement, dans la série “Unlimited†de Crónica. Trois pièces de 35 à 40 minutes chacune, toutes trois très poignantes, avec un feeling “en concertâ€. De l’excellente musique électronique ambiante expérimentale, avec des transformations de textures et de sources qui fascinent. Je préfère cet album à Music for Empty Spaces paru l’an dernier. Il est plus vivant, moins minimaliste. À ce prix là (rien!), c’est une écoute essentielle et une excellente (bien que longue) porte d’entrée dans l’univers d’@c.

“Acute Inbetweens†reviewed by Monsieur Délire
Cette collaboration entre les électroniciens Lawrence English et Stephen Vitiello livre exactement la marchandise attendue, comme l’avait fait celle entre English et le groupe japonais Minamo. Acute inbetweens existe entre le drone et la musique électroacoustique. Cinq pièces lentes, douces et délicates, toutes en subtiles textures, mises en boucle et traitements numériques. La rencontre de deux grands sculpteurs sonores qui m’ont rarement déçu au fil des ans. Recommandé.
