@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

Welcome to the 18th review in my ever continuing series on the Crónica label in which today I’m reviewing the new @c album Espaço, Pausa, Repetição which was released early this month.

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

There is quite a story behind this release by @C, the duo of Pedro Tudela and Miguel Carvalhais, who are also behind the Cronica Electronica label.

@c’s “Espaço, Pausa, Repetição” reviewed by Silence and Sound

L’abstraction en musique, n’est pas une inconnue dans l’oeuvre de Miguel Carvalhais et Pedro Tudela aka @c, tant chaque album tire son sens de l’environnement dans lequel il se déplace, virtuellement ou réellement à travers les enceintes, créant des zones mobiles au croisement du conceptuel et de la poésie. Conçu pour une exposition à la Faculty of Fine Arts de …

Tamtam’s “Rheingold” reviewed by The Sound Projector

Sam Auinger scored quite a hit with this writer in 2001, when he made Box 30/70 with Bruce Odland (appearing as O+A). I seem to recall they created a fascinating twist on the field recording genre with their innovative “box”, which sits by a roadside and does unusual things to the sound of cars rushing past. This …

Tamtam’s “Rheingold” reviewed by Oro Molido

Este trabajo se divide en dos partes. En la cara A de la casete, escuchamos remezclas de TAMTAM realizadas en el año 2017. En su contenido se modifican tratamientos sonoros realizados por Sam Auinger, bajo la superposición de frecuencias del bajo eléctrico de Hannes Stribl, y las percusiones con gongs tocadas por Robyn Schulkowsky. Basándose …
