Ja, ich gebe zu, nachdem ich Crónica zunächst in die “Abgehobene Kunst”-Ecke gesteckt habe, muss ich wohl meine Meinung nach den letzten paar Releases etwas korrigieren. @c kannte ich bisher nur vom “On Paper” Sampler, der ebenfalls auf Crónica erschienen ist und unter anderem diese CD war Grund für meine bisherige Einschätzung. Ok, einfache Kost …

@C are the Porto based electronic artists Pedro Tudela and Miguel Carvalhais. Regularly utilising field recordings, samples and strange electronic sounds, over the course of three albums they have displayed a firm commitment to improvisation and deconstruction, in creating new and interesting links via their internal electronic dialogue. Their second outing on the strange and …

Pelo que verifiquei nos seus dois discos anteriores e se confirma em «v3», as propostas dos portuenses @c vivem do cruzamento de estéticas e de modos de abordagem, indo de reminiscências do techno ao experimentalismo improvisado, e do “beat†mais explÃcito ao desconstrucionismo pró-abstraccionista. É sobretudo esta última vertente que nos é presenteada na sua …

@c (try Googling that one and you won’t get very far.. go to at-c.org instead) is the duo Pedro Tudela and Miguel Carvalhais, and v3 is, as you might guess, their third album. Or perhaps the “3” refers to the fact that these nine tracks were sourced from three different performances in Palmela, London and …

On ‘V3’ two slopes can be appreciated, one of improvised character with processing sounds of granular synthesis, along with atonal chords from the guitarists Mota and Hora and the other, with accent in rhythm and the beat pulsations in the minimal vein with the compression of microscopic and reconverted sounds, in addition to the sonorous …

In ähnlichen Zusammenhängen […wie William Basinski und Richard Chartier…] bewegen sich @c aus Porto. Die live eingespielten Tracks von “v3” sind klar in algorithmisch-generativer Laptopmusik verortet, gewinnen aber einen gewissen Charme durch ihre filigrane Zartheit und Leere. “v3” ist damit eines der eher seltenen Beispiele, in denen Multimedia-Klangkunst auch unabhängig von der Performance und dem …

v3 è il terzo cd di @C, il secondo per la Crónica, e il suo Hard Disk è stato il primo cd prodotto dall’etichetta portoghese.. ritorna quindi il nostro eroe con un disco che raccoglie 3 diverse performances raccolte durante le esibizioni del 2003, per la precisione l’esibizione del 5 ottobre all’EME Festival organizzato da …

Une nouvelle sortie sur le label portugais Cronica, ne faisant que confirmer la qualité de celui-ci, il est vrai très pointu, et à la croisée de différents styles musicaux. Ambient, noise, electronica, et ici une fusion plus originale encore, mélangeant ambient, minimal-techno, et musique improvisée puisqu’il s’agit en l’occurrence de plusieurs concerts enregistrés l’année dernière …

Sometimes it happens: from ruthless music generators a pulsating living organism comes to manifest itself, leaving questions and doubts behind, letting people have a glance to an uncertain definition of future without panic – instead confirming one’s will to go over the easy paybacks of “educated” instrumental voices. Seaming together three different live exhibitions, @C …

O resultado fala por si mesmo: v3 é a intersecção de múltiplas linhas, o local puro de confluência de várias estéticas naquilo que é a procura de Pedro Tudela e Miguel Carvalhais de alcançar a perfeita combinação de vários componentes. Os primeiros dois temas flutuam por entre camadas mais ambientais, imprevisÃveis estrépitos e bulÃcios, texturas …
