From 11th-13th November, the first edition of Semibreve festival was held in the magnificent Theatro Circo, a nearly 100 year old theater located in the city centre of Braga in Portugal. Christian Fennesz opened the second day of the festival along with Portuguese video artist Pedro Maia whose contribution was certainly a wonderful and immersive addition to Fennesz’s stellar layering and looping work.

The Rhapsody Blog offers a brief history of glitch by drawing upon examples of material from SND, Fennesz and Oval.

Pitchfork is streaming a new track from Fennesz's forthcoming full-length of ambient guitar abstraction.
