This time, the text is in Portuguese and English, so that&#8217;s not the issue here. I like to think our principal interest is sound; we can hear on whatever sound carrier (don&#8217;t send your VHS tapes, please, or 8-track cassettes). Reading about sound already gets a bit more complicated, especially when it comes to theory. Still, in the case of Pedro Tudela and Miguel Carvalhais &#8216;Installations&#8217;, we deal with an art catalogue. You may know them as the duo @C, of whom we reviewed various releases over the years. They are a laptop duo rooted in field recordings, acoustic sound and improvisation. Another interest of theirs is the creation of installations. Since 2005 they did a few, and they are documented in this 210 pages softcover book, with 140 images, plus texts describing these and a more general introduction. It is undoubtedly a fascinating read, and the installations look fantastic, but it is not the &#8216;real&#8217; thing. We miss a great deal of the experience, the sight and the sound. There are now two releases on the Cronica Bandcamp page that deal with two of these installations, and I strongly recommend playing these while flipping\/reading this book (links below, they&#8217;re both &#8216;name your price downloads&#8217;). I know you&#8217;d still miss out on the visual side of the experience, but at least there is something to hear when looking at the pictures and reading the text.
