Peter Jørgensen ”Alt i stykker” (No Technique, 2019) – review by Giuseppe Pisano Along the years Peter Jørgensen has developed a compositional style that shares common elements with both the new wave of Scandinavian electronic ambient music and the modern-classical long form experimentations of either minimal-music composers such as Morton Feldman and more recent figures in the contemporary music panorama such as Anthony Pateras. In this sense ...

Af Mikkel Arre Marco Egeberg har kaldt sit første album med synth-soloprojektet Skragn for ”Stund”. Men selv om titlen kan give associationer til noget afgrænset og umiddelbart, har LP’en været længe undervejs. De ældste af albummets otte numre har deres rødder helt tilbage i 2008, hvor de havde en ganske anden form. I en årrække arbejdede Egeberg nemlig med akustiske instrumenter, som han samplede og byggede videre ...

Heathe ”On the Tombstones; The Symbols Engraved” (Wolves and Vibrancy, 2019) – anmeldelse af Daniel Niebuhr Det sker måske en lille håndfuld gange om året, at jeg for alvor bliver begejstret over en dansk udgivelse.

ASUNA & Jan Jelinek ”Signals Bulletin” (faitiche, 2019) – review by Wieland Rambke Jan Jelinek is a legend of minimal music: For more than two decades now, the German producer has used samples, field recordings and modular synthesizers to produce gently pulsating music that feels organic, yet hi-tech. On and off through the last five years, he has been collaborating with Japanese sound artist ASUNA, and ...

Black Midi Af Adam Thorsmark Fire gange om året samler jeg – med afsæt i en helt ekstremt subjektiv udvælgelsesstrategi – en god håndfuld af de nye sange fra ind- og udland (samt et par perler fra arkiverne), som har klæbet sig allerbedst fast til min hjernebark i det netop afsluttede kvartal. Herunder får du en blanding af oversete og mere kendte sange, men den røde tråd ...

Interview by Peter Jørgensen Following the output and inherent growth of composer Sean McCann has been a joyous ride for me for the past couple of years. His personal and fresh approach to composing and combining sound worlds has made for some of the past years’ most interesting releases.
