New release: Pedro Tudela and Miguel Carvalhais’s “Installations / Instalações” book

Pedro Tudela and Miguel Carvalhais collaborate as @c since 2000. They have released and performed extensively, often collaborating with other artists and collectives in a practice marked by radical experimentalism with computational sound. In 2003 they established Crónica, a label dedicated to experimental music and sound art, that they since run. Since 2005 Tudela and Carvalhais have also …

Pedro Tudela and Miguel Carvalhais’s “Installations / Instalações” book reviewed by Vital Weekly

The next one is also a book, also (a bit of) a problem. This time, the text is in Portuguese and English, so that’s not the issue here. I like to think our principal interest is sound; we can hear on whatever sound carrier (don’t send your VHS tapes, please, or 8-track cassettes). Reading about …

@c’s “Espaço, Pausa, Repetição” reviewed by The Sound Projector

This one arose from an installation project which they did at the University of Porto. Apparently over fifty creators contributed about 300 “sound objects” to this project, and if @c are using these as the basis for today’s …

@c’s “Espaço, Pausa, Repetição” reviewed by Toneshift

In these two nearly half-hour long works, otherwise known as ‘Sonic Annotations: Space, Pause, Repetition‘ the duo @C (Pedro Tudela + Miguel Carvalhais) has delivered a multisensory, immersive, site-specific sound installation from three-hundred sound objects (many collaborators). Their video offers a good dose of installation porn, especially if you are into speakers and wires. No joke here as this …

@c’s “Espaço, Pausa, Repetição” reviewed by Fluid Sonic Fluctuations
