Durán Vázquez + Kloob’s “Vinum Sabbati: In the Dawn of Science Fiction” reviewed by daMusic
Met ‘Vinum Sabbati, In the Dawn of Science Fiction’ tekenen Durán Vásquez en Daniel Ferreira, aka Kloob, een muzikale schaduwwereld uit, geschikt voor een scifi-thrillerreeks vol donkere suspens. Niet zo vreemd: Kloobs dark ambient werd al eerder geïnspireerd door werk van Edgar Allen Poe en Andrej Tarkowski, en hier nam het duo ‘The Three Imposters’, een episodisch occult horrorverhaal van …

Durán Vázquez + Kloob’s “Vinum Sabbati: In the Dawn of Science Fiction” reviewed by Silence and Sound
Inspiré de la nouvelle La Poudre Blanche, issue du roman Les Trois Imposteurs, de Arthur Machen, considéré comme un des précurseurs de la littérature fantastique et de science-fiction, Vinum Sabbati, In the Dawn of Science Fiction est une oeuvre qui nous plonge dans un monde d’angoisse et d’effroi, à coups d’atmosphères froides et éviscérées de toute émotion.

Durán Vázquez + Kloob’s “Vinum Sabbati: In the Dawn of Science Fiction” reviewed by Radiohoerer
Noch düsterer, ja, ein regelrechter akustischer „Horror“, ist das, was Durán Vázquez + Kloob für uns bereithalten. Es gibt kein Entrinnen aus dieser Dystopie. Auch dieses Release ist nichts für schwache Nerven. Mitunter brutal brechen ihre Soundkaskaden über uns herein. Ihre Inspirationsquelle ist Arthur Machen, von dem ich noch nie etwas gehört habe. Ihre Musik …
New release: Durán Vázquez + Kloob
Durán Vázquez and Kloob have known each other for over 25 years, sharing a strong interest in electronic music.

“Hiku Komuro, Hikikomori†reviewed by Blow Up
Vázquez è un (ehm) musicista galiziano autodidatta che traffica con computer e programmi per inventare suoni. In questo caso manipola samples da vecchi videogiochi. Il risultato è spaesante, una specie di ambient siderale più sinistra che giocosa, con suoni che sembrano nuvole galleggianti ora pulsanti ora eteree a cui si accostano distrattamente scampoli di rumori …

La Cronica non delude mai con le sue pubblicazioni e anche questa volta fa centro con la cassetta dell’artista spagnolo Durán Vázquez, autore di tracce sperimentali reperibili ovviamente anche in digitale. Il galiziano utilizza software di Windows, vecchi plug-ins degli anni 90, campionamenti da vecchi videogame anni 80 e varia strumentazione per un lavoro la …
