The first is what is called in the world of vinyl a split release, but there is not an appropiate term for it yet for the CD version. One person is first, the other second. So it goes. First here is one Sumugan Sivanesan from Sydney, Australia. Before turning his laptop on, he played in …

SUMUGAN SIVANESAN experimentiert mit Collagen aus hochfrequenten Fiepsen, Digital Noise, Field Recordings und Feedbacks, erstellt daraus Tracks zwischen Ambient, Drone, Clicks’n’Cuts und Noise. Die zweite Hälfte der CD, aufgenommen von DURÁN VÁZQUEZ beginnt in ähnlichen Bereichen, zeigt aber später eher Anklänge von Cut-Ups und Loops aus Spieluhrklängen, dumpfen Scheppern, aber jeweils verziert mit digitalen Klängen. …

The Product Series aims at fusion and confrontation through releasing the work of two artists in a single´CD. This returns to the vinyl split mentality, but this time using digital media. These releases are comprised of audio and/or audiovisual work of two artists plus a special Cronica guest to produce the cover artwork. Sumugan Sivanesan …

Ook bij het Cronica-label: een nieuwe episode in de Product-reeks, waarbij twee artiesten tegenover elkaar worden geplaatst die qua gedachtengoed in elkaars buurt vertoeven. De Australische componist Sumugan Sivanesan grossiert in ultrahoge digitale polyfonieën, Durán Vázquez heeft zich dan weer gespecialiseerd in holle, industriële, dof klinkende ambient. Van high tech naar low tech, in een …

Après l’album conceptuel d’Autodigest dont on parlait récemment, voici une autre sortie de l’exigeant label portugais Cronica, avec ce premier CD d’une série cherchant à confronter les univers sonores de deux artistes. Pour ce premier numéro, on trouve l’australien Sumugan Sivanesan à la démarche très expérimentale, avec une recherche sur le son et la combinaison …

Pese a su cercanía, la escena experimental portuguesa goza de escasa difusión en España. Una auténtica lástima, pues se trata de una de las más activas y atractivas del sur de Europa. Queda esto claro en las últimas referencias del sello luso Crónica: tanto el colectivo audiovisual @c como Durán Vázquez – junto al australiano …

Sumugan Sivanesan is first up with Spare Your Speakers and this is exactly what II felt like doing as I played the first track. An exciting fusion of noise and extremely high pitched tones is not for the weak of heart or to be played while nursing a hangover. The intensity of the high pitched …

Cronica continue son lent et passionnant travail d’archivage, compilant / redéployant / réorientant sans relâche ses multiples projets sonores, s’attachant autant que faire ce peu, à parcourir, à détailler la multiplicité des approches émergeantes dans les sphères oubliées des musiques non-conventionnelles, qu’elles soient d’ordre expérimentales, électroacoustiques, ou non directives. 2 nouvelles productions, respectivement étiquetées Cronica …

Product is a split CD, in the good old ‘vinyl’ tradition, between Sumugan Sivanesan (from Australia) and Durán Vázquez (from Portugal). The first 8 tracks are by Sivanesan, and the other 7 by Vazquez. There are also two data tracks and an empty track to separate the two artists. Both artists create experimental music with …

Há discos que podem até valer por si só, ou seja, apenas como matéria audível com os consequentes remates opinativos; mas há muitos outros que tomam dimensões diferentes se houver uma pré-contextualização. O que seria dos “4.33” aparentemente silenciosos de Cage se não soubéssemos antecipadamente que o silêncio não existe no sentido de total ausência …
