Close up of a large format screen with a circle of light projected in it.

View of the room of the installation “Specular Field (Echo(Echo))”. The room has white walls and a wood ceiling. We see a large-format screen hanging in the centre of the room with a circle of light projected in it. We can also see three loudspeakers, mounted in stands, distributed in the room.

View of the installation. Several tables in a very long room with wooden ceiling. Each table has a mirror on its top that reflects the ceiling. Each table also has a loudspeaker pointing up and a LED tube light.

Still a week and a half for the official release date of Haarvöl’s new album “Horizons of Suspended Zones” but preorders are open and we're running out of copies. So act fast and secure yours before they sell out! www.cronicaelectronica.org/238/

Ditch Spotify. Seriously, fucking get rid of it, there’s better platforms if you absolutely must have convenience at the cost of musicians making no fucking money unless their parents are rich.

Quadro to Stereo to Binaural a new direction?

I wrote a few lines about the binaural mixes of Parmegiani's music that was released by Maison ONA open.substack.com/pub/earlabs/...

Proud to announce that David Lee Myers’s new album is now available to preorder www.cronicaelectronica.org/239/ “Terrenus” is an exploration in purely electronic sound. If much electronic music is characterised as “space music”, this is more accurately portrayed as “earth music.”

HAARVÖL - HORIZONS OF SUSPENDED ZONES (CD by Cronica Electronica) Among my favourite drone groups is Haarvöl, a trio of two musicians (José Pereira and João Faria) and Rui Manuel Vieira, who handles the visual side. I don't know what that looks like, as I never saw them in concert (or looked on YouTube). Their latest album is inspired by a book by Hakim Bey from the late 1990s, "about the then-emerging possibility of the virtual. With the lucidity for which he is known, he recognised at the time that the virtual was nothing more than a new avenue for expanding capitalism. He introduced the concept of temporary autonomous zones as a kind of Foucauldian heterotopia — spaces that existed only for as long as they could evade capture." Of course, things got way more radical than that; just look around you. The music here is the opposite of more of everything; it is less of everything. Six lengthy pieces, each about ten minutes of slow music, heavy on the ambience, drones and atmospherics. I hope I am not as attached to screens, buttons, and more of everything (except for reading books on my iPad), and I like slow and quiet music more than loud music, and Haarvöl tick all those boxes. It's not to say each of these six pieces is just a few tones sustaining on end. Far from! Each piece is a multi-layered event of sustaining tones, but with shorter samples, voices, bell sounds and more melodic stuff, which makes this a delightful trip. I think I called their previous release 'The Uncanny Organisation Of Timeless Time' their best work to date, but I'd like to add 'Horizons Of Suspended Zones' as a contender. It is a highly varied disc of some abstract ambient, meeting more melodic touches. Excellent! (FdW) ––– Address: https://cronica.bandcamp.com/

First review to Haarvöl’s “Horizons of Suspended Zones”. Thanks Vital Weekly!
