New podcast: Eosin
Eosin (Diana Combo) composes and performs with vinyl records. Starting from a process close to plunderphonics, she gradually grew to include her own field recordings or other sounds collected from online archives. Her new composition, or re-compositions, do not necessarily start from very well defined conceptual or methodological strategies but are rather the result of an intuitive exploration, informed by certain thematics for theoretical research and by the act of listening. Her relation with records and vinyl players has found yet another expression in contexts of collective performance, where they’re used as instruments for improvisation. In this context, Diana shared stages with Andrea Neumann, Ana Veloso, João Martins and Filipe Silva; Antoine Chessex, Werner Dafeldecker, Burkhard Beins, Nate Wooley, amongst others. She has performed solo at Transmediale, Tiny Noise and Festival ERTZ, and in venues as Casa da Música, Passos Manuel, Maus Hábitos, ZDB, Galeria Zaratan, Bar Irreal, Salon des Amateurs and General Public.
This is a recording of Eosin performing at ZDB, Lisbon, on November 13, 2015, sharing the bill with Bitchin’ Bajas. Recorded by Cristiano Nunes.

“Positions†reviewed by Freistil
positions (Cróncia) beinhaltet eine Auswahl an Konzeptstücken des Holländers Martijn Tellinga. Als Komponist und Performer kreiert er akustische Situationen (Alvin Lucier & Co lassen grüßen), die Ideen von Raum und Prozessen in den Mittelpunkt stellen im steten Spannungsfeld zwischen Intention und Zufall. Die nun auf dem portugiesischen Label Cróncia erschienene CD beinhaltet vier seiner Arbeiten, darunter Three Modulators, Truth, Branching into others und Positions, aufgenommen zwischen 2011 und 2013 in Sydney, Buenos Aires und Amsterdam. Leider lässt die Aufnahmequalität oft zu wünschen übrig (es sind Livemitschnitte), wodurch Positions eher als Dokumentationsquelle funktioniert. Konzeptstücke, die derart „religiös“ akustische Eigenschaften von Räumen und Klängen an sich, seien es Klänge von Instrumenten oder Geräuschen, in den Mittelpunkt stellen, brauchen optimale Aufnahmebedingungen, um als adäquate Ereignisse auf Tonträger gehört werden zu können. Deswegen empfiehlt es sich, wenn schon, denn schon, Tellingas Stücke live zu erleben. Katrin Hauk
