As its 35th installment, Crónica is pleased to add to its well curated catalogue TU M’s “Is That You?”
“Is That You?” invites you to become a solo protagonist in an imaginary soundtrack. While embracing you in an ocean of orchestral delight, the delicate arrangements and the overall amplitude of the piece’s resonance carry you across a 23 minute drama full of beauty and intrigue.
Rossano Polidoro and Emiliano Romanelli’s improvised recordings stem from carefully written evocations of orchestral brass and wood colors which are later reprocessed live. TU M’s performance is yet another level of evocation, building concurrent arrays of sound flux full of instrumental warmth and vivid organics.
TU M’ are meager in words about their music, but this sparseness finds a balance in the expressivity of their music.

With “Is That You?” we present the second release in the Limited Series of original artworks, especially produced for each digital release. The Limited counterpart of this Unlimited release is “Unique Clouds“, a certified signed and numbered limited edition of 10 rubber stamps, produced for Crónica and TU M’ by the Portuguese artist Miguel Leal.
Clouds have always been objects of fascination with their arrogant complexity and their role as catalysts for the imagination. There being no way to precisely measure them or restrict their behaviour to a deterministic regime, they have been frequently seen as amorphous or formless objects, monstrosities or aberrations of nature, signs of the random noise of the world.
Clouds are always in a transitory state and for this reason we say that they do not have permanent qualities. In short, clouds do not have qualities and it is absurd to individually catalogue them.
“Unique Clouds” presents a limited series of 10 stamps. Each stamp includes a single drawing that can be reproduced unlimitedly, on any media, in any colour and in any position. Indeed, these stamps are unique works that can generate an infinity number of multiples.
Each of the 10 signed and numbered pieces is available for 125€ (post included).

A lot of hard work is invested in these releases and in Crónica’s operations. We do not believe in DRM and we certainly don’t want to create any barriers between you and our releases, so, for the time, and in experimental regime, all of the Unlimited Releases will be free to download, but if you can, please consider to leave us a small donation for the benefit of both artists and label. Don’t forget to leave us your address, so that we can send you a thank you postcard in return.
