“Queendom Maybe Rise” reviewed by Kindamuzik

Langzaam, heel langzaam en bedachtzaam verandert de klankwolk van vorm. Elektronische geluiden, galm, echo en natuurlijke klanken zwermen om elkaar heen als gassen in een beperkte ruimte. Voor je er erg in hebt, doe je geen enkele poging meer te bedenken waar de oorsprong van wat je hoort zou kunnen liggen. De bubble van Queendom …

“Queendom Maybe Rise” reviewed by Monsieur Délire

Très beau disque de Marc Behrens, magicien de l’art sonore. Deux pièces au programme: la longue “Maybe Rise” qui combine des enregistrements de terrain pour promener l’auditeur à travers des paysages sonores hyperréalistes, et “Queendom”, plus courte, composée uniquement d’échantillons de la voix de la vocaliste Yôko Higashi. Deux univers complètement différents, mais qui se …

“Queendom Maybe Rise” reviewed by Boomkat

Sound and visual artist, Marc Behrens, arrives on Portugal’s Crónica label with two subtly enveloping, morphing electro-acoustic compositions. ‘Maybe Rise’ follows an expansive, abstract narrative of tunnelling drones and finely layered field recordings reminding of works by his former collaborator, Francisco López and his previous work for label’s such as Raster-Noton and Trent Oiseaux. More …

New release: “Queendom Maybe Rise” by Marc Behrens

Crónica is proud to present a new release by Marc Behrens, “Queendom Maybe Rise”, now available directly from Crónica or through selected retailers. Maybe Rise opens up a concrete sound space of two contradicting elements, firstly a harmonious but nondescript utopian location, secondly a highly symbolic and hyperrealist place of human action, derived from material …
