Crónica is proud to present two brand new releases:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
GINTAS K
LENGVAI / 60 X ONE MINUTE AUDIO COLOURS OF 2KHZ SOUND
2CD, CRÓNICA 024~2006
------------------------------------------------------------------------

CD1: Lengvai
01: Lengvai
02: Ilgiau Ilgiau
03: Kulgrinda
04: Koto
05: Early Set

Lengvai (eng. Easily) is the result of long-lasting sonic adventures
through experimental digital post-techno, rich scales of frequencies and
dynamics, from subtle to intense overladen structures. Lengvai is shaped
by luxurious compositional precision, driven under the sway of musical
intuition. Colorful hypnotizing beats, intersections of synthetic
textures with sharp and powerful melodic flows are organized into
polychromic soundscapes.

CD2: 60 x one Minute Audio Colours of 2kHz Sound
01:-60:

All sonic material is created from pure sound at the frequency of 2kHz,
compositionally modulated to rhythmical formations, microsound,
thrilling and rippling acoustic substance, diverse 2kHz "sound colours".
The colour spectrum becomes a metaphorical equivalent of sound
transformation. Sound at 2kHz is the axis of continuing composition, and
even when it moves towards white noise and seems to disappear, it is
still anyway sounding in THE background. The composition is oriented to
a wide scale of listening experiences: from lyrical moods to unbearable
noise. The integral composition has a clear and strict structure: audio
colours are changing periodically every single minute.

09: Flow (video by Lia)
[data track/quicktime]

Crónica is delighted to present an endless existential dive, the latest
release from Vitor Joaquim, Flow.

In the artist's own words, Flow is an exercice of confrontation, a
placing in context between voice and computer, all the idiosyncrasies of
bare-naked human expression, altered, expanded and processed beyond its
own flesh and blood. It also stages the possibilities and the
impossibilities of relationships, or at least tries to pose some
questions about the construction of our identity as a permanent
conversation with others, through emotions that flow from rational
collaborations in this record, with the beautiful and unsettling voice
of Filipa Hora and the guitars of João Hora and Emídio Buchinho. Its a
'go with the flow', a journey with people, through light and darkness,
together in an endless existential dive.

"The voice of Filipa Hora is heard saying... I think this is so
dangerous, this intimacy, i think... i think you're getting so close,
I think I'm gonna have to stop you from getting closer. I think I cannot
get so close and then... not be close, I think I'm close... I think I don't
want not to be close... "

Cover art by Lia, Vitor Joaquim and MCarvalhais.
