The thirty-one tracks on Täushung betray a nest of family resemblances, but they are lost on the one who, using graphic tools and granular synthesis, gave rise to them in the first place. Some four years later, the atmosphere, as it were the corona of lightly indicated uses that accompanied their first gesticulations now appears …

Davor Mikan est un musicien autrichien d’origine bosniaque, il fait partie de ces expérimentateurs sonores radicaux qui composent sans aucune concession pour nos capacités auditives. Le label Cronica édite courageusement aujourd’hui son deuxième album. Intitulé Täuschung, il présente une suite de 31 vignettes sonores principalement constituées de distorsions, de déflagrations, de déchirures, de silences et …

Davor Mikan hätte vielleicht gut daran getan, nicht jedem der 31 Stücke auf »Täuschung« (Crónica) einen Titel zu verpassen: Man sollte sich jedenfalls nicht von einer etwas witzlosen Albernheit wie »Der Eisverkäufer explodiert einfach« von dem Vorhaben abschrecken lassen, sich mit diesem durchweg interessanten, zuweilen sehr spannenden Album auseinanderzusetzen. Was auf den ersten Eindruck oft …
From Vienna comes one Davor Mikan, of whom I never heard, ‘where he creates music about failure, beauty, lust and delusion in the context of psychoacoustic effects and in a personal sense (self-delusion)’, as it is said on the blurb. He is using generative graphic tools together with granular synthesis to transform sound. Whatever that …
In “Täushung†il viennese Davor Mikan ha riunito materiale elettronico elaborato nel corso degli ultimi 4 anni – si tratta di 31 tracce brevi se non brevissime – ed il risultato finale non lascia granché soddisfatti: un lavoro eccessivamente frammentario e sostanzialmente asfittico, dove entrano scarti digitali, frequenze disturbate, glitches manipolati, ritagli di forme ancora …

Trinta e uma pequenas peças, ásperas como um raio, mas o certo é que à segunda, terceira passagens, as linhas mais angulosas parece que se limam um pouco, ajustando as peças para uma escuta mais conveniente. Falo do mais recente lançamento, o trigésimo (parabéns!), da editora lusa CRÓNICA, Täuschung, do austrÃaco de origem bósnia, Davor …

Sorties de l’ordinateur personnel de Davor Mikan, les 31 pièces qui composent Täuschung parlent de silences et de sons détériorés, renferment les preuves sonores d’une identité en construction et du bestiaire étrange dont elle ne peut se passer. Projetée, l’audace électronique – qui peut frôler l’absurde au point d’interdire toute connivence avec l’auditeur – n’en …

A massive essay on memory and forgetting, “Taschung†is a thirty one track set assembled over four years by Electroacoustic artist Davor Mikan. The struggle to remember the purpose of some of the pieces, why they were recorded, what was the initial inspiration; given that context, the pulses and drones and sonic waves represent the …
