Similarities, intersections, tensions, contrasts, …

Miguel Carvalhais en Pedro Tudela, de mannen achter het Portugese Crónica, vormen sinds 2000 samen ook een duo: @c. De twee zijn vooral bekend door hun installaties, waarvan een paar jaar geleden ook een fraai boek, met de doeltreffende titel ‘Installations’ uitkwam. Uit mijn recensie citeer ik hier nogmaals hun opmerking over dit genre: “an installation a holistic work …

Diana Combo aka SÍRIA war bereits mit den Kassetten „Cuspo“ und „Boa-Língua“ auf Crónica.

Mit Installations: (Re)Verso/Flexo (213) führen Pedro Tudela & Miguel Carvalhais, kurz @C, in ein Esszimmer des 15. Jh. im Museum von Aveiro, vormals ein dominikanisches Frauenkloster, in das sich Infanta Dona Joana, die Tochter des portugiesischen Königs Dom Afonso V., zurückgezogen hatte. Dass klösterliche Leibspeisung einst sublimiert wurde mit der seelischen Erbauung durch das Lesen frommer Texte, …

En voyant sur la pochette le mot “Drumming”, beaucoup penseront sans doute à la célèbre composition de Steve Reich. Le seul rapport, ce sont les percussions. Extrêmement variées, avec, selon les titres, électronique, ordinateurs, échantillons. Un disque qui semblera difficile, et il l’est, mais ne demande qu’à être attentivement écouté pour livrer ses trésors… Drumming GP désigne …
