Review:
Finally seeing the light of day this summer is a recording over two thousand years in the making. Recorded over the course of three days as part of the 2018 Tuned City festival in Ancient Messene, Greece, BMB con.’s Messene (Mavromati) is a documentation of a series of performances, a record of the duo’s engagement with a specific place: the ancient city of Messene. The city’s ruined amphitheater, crumbling walls, and surrounding mountains are the backdrop for an exploration of sound and space in which ancient architects become active and contemporary participants.
