“Lisboa Soa, Sounds Within Sounds” reviewed by Music Map

L’obiettivo dichiarato di questa rassegna è la valorizzazione della musica contemporanea che abbia anche un significato sociale ed ecologico, in modo da produrre una maggiore coscienza ambientale e dell’impatto determinato dalla nostra presenza.

Miguel A. García’s “Eraginie” reviewed by Music Map

Chi ha giocato al primo ”Silent Hill”? Un videogioco del 1999 che si incentra sull’orrore psicologico, in cui un uomo si ritrova in una città fantasma, dove accadono cose inquietanti nella nebbia. “Silent Hill” è stato apprezzato anche da David Lynch, tanto per dire che di che atmosfere parliamo. Miguel A. García, che si fa …

Bruno Duplant’s “Sombres Miroirs” reviewed by The Sound Projector

Another splendid work by Bruno Duplant, one of my current personal favourites of enigmatic and sometimes minimal composition. His Sombres Miroirs (CRONICA 188-2022) is, by his standards, positively teeming with activity and events, and in this floating richness we can hear everything from backwards orchestras to uncertain cosmic gyrations – planets spinning or nebulae drifting into the distance.

Morten Riis’s “Lad enhver lyd minde os om” reviewed by The Sound Projector

Quite nice short tape experiments from Morten Riis on his cassette Lad Enhver Lyd Minde Os Om(CRÓNICA 186-2022).

I suppose this may …

New release: Lisboa Soa, Sounds Within Sounds

“Lisboa Soa: Sounds within Sounds” reviewed by Vital Weekly

A festival of sound art, ecology and auditory culture. That’s how Lisboa Soa is described, and they have been going since 2016. To commemorate the first lustrum, they opened their archives to four Portuguese musicians and had them create new works from works collected. The festival is about “acoustic ecology, the discipline that inspired the …
