Síria’s “Cuspo” reviewed by African Paper
Manchmal entstehen umfangreiche Arbeiten aus kleinen Impulsen. Für Diana Combo, die Frau hinter dem Soundprojekt Síria und außerdem Sängerin, beginnt ihr Tape „Cuspo“ mit einem Auftrag. Ein Autor hatte sie gebeten, Patti Smiths „Gloria“ und einen eigenen Song für eine Theaterproduktion einzusingen. Während ihrer Suche nach passenden Stimmungen, Melodien und Texten entstand recht schnell ein […]
Síria’s “Cuspo” reviewed by The Wire
Vinyl records, recordings and vocals combine in Portuguese artist Diana Combo’s latest work. I know this, because when you visit Síria’s Bandcamp page, the process of recording is explained. Artists, especially those coming from a visual world before they get engaged in music, love explaining what they do, how they do it, why they do […]
15 years of Crónica at ZDB, Lisbon
Next Friday, November 30, Crónica will take over the stage at ZDB, in Lisbon, to present the last of the anniversary performances for 2018. Síria, Vítor Joaquim, and @c (Pedro Tudela & Miguel Carvalhais) start at 22h at Rua da Barroca 59.
Síria’s “Cuspo” reviewed by Groove
Die Ebenen des Dazwischen sind Orte von Geistern und Erinnerung. Besonders heimgesucht sind Klänge aus obsoleten (im Tech-Jargon: obsoleszenten) Tonträgerformaten wie Schellackplatten oder Chromdioxid-Kassetten. Die aus und mit diesen Medien produzierten „hauntologischen“ Inhalte spiegeln Stimmungen von nostalgisch, melancholisch und morbide bis hin zu düster und unheimlich. Diana Combo aus Porto hat sich unter dem Alias […]
Síria’s “Cuspo” reviewed by Bodyspace
Para ouvir em posição fetal. A humanidade tem uma relação complicada com a sua saliva. Não temos pudor nenhum em trocá-la num beijo, quando em momentos mais íntimos, ou em ceder à tentação mamífera de lamber as nossas feridas, mas encaramos como um bruto sinal de desrespeito – senão mesmo de ódio – o facto […]
Three performances to commemorate 15 years of Crónica
Next week, Crónica will celebrate its 15th anniversary with three performances in Salão Brazil in Coimbra (Thursday 11), SMUP in Parede (Saturday 13), and Céu de Vidro in Caldas da Raínha (Sunday 14). @c, Vitor Joaquim, and Síria will perform, showcasing some of their latest work.
Síria’s “Cuspo” reviewed by Vital
While I had not heard of Síria before, I did hear Diana Combo, who is behind Síria, when she works as Eosin (see Vital Weekly 1131). Cronica writes that “in this project [she] joins her voice to the usual practice of combining vinyl records and field recordings, in a gesture of appropriationism that she has […]
Síria’s “Cuspo” reviewed by FBI Radio
Diana Combo, previously known as Eosin, makes music using vinyl records, field recordings and occasional droney noisemakers of her own along with her vocals. Her new album for Portuguese experimental label Crónica sees her creating beautifully mysterious compositions using a series of avant-garde and experimental works from vinyl, crossing the experimental cello & drones of […]
Síria’s “Cuspo” reviewed by Toneshift
The collective Portuguese label Crónica has been bringing cutting edge, genre defying music since 2003 – and no signs of stopping here. This is Síria‘s debut (aka Diana Combo) and its an assortment of collaborations – field recordings, voice and vinyl records. At first, on Por Riba, (partly recorded by John Grzinich) it’s quite a […]
