Après une petite escapade chez Baskaru (Music For Empty Spaces), le duo @C retourne sur ses terres pour trois nouvelles pièces librement téléchargeables sur le site de Cronica. Trois longues pièces électroniques de plus d’une demi heure chacune. Quant à les expliquer, il faudrait sans doute avoir beaucoup de temps devant soi. Pour autant et …

Tre lunghe tracce di 37, 34 e 39 minuti riempiono il nuovo lavoro di Miguel Carvalhais e Pedro Tudela. Titolari della sigla @C, nonché curatori dell’etichetta portoghese Cronica.

Als nächsten freien Download bietet das portugiesische Label Crónica neue Aufnahmen von Miguel Carvalhais und Pedro Tudela, ebenfalls aus Portugal. Das Duo arbeitet mit Fieldrecordings und deren Bearbeitung an so etwas wie künstlich erschaffenen Feldaufnahmen. “Homem Fantasma” erzählt drei jeweils länger als halbstündige Geschichten. In Teil 1 erklingen Geräusche von mysteriösen Maschinen und Geräten, die …
Le duo de Miguel Carvalhais et Pedro Tudela propose un long disque disponible gratuitement, dans la série “Unlimited†de Crónica. Trois pièces de 35 à 40 minutes chacune, toutes trois très poignantes, avec un feeling “en concertâ€.
