Miguel Carvalhais and Pedro Tudela, founders of Crónica in 2003, collaborate as @c since 2000, composing, presenting performances, developing sound installations and music for theatre and audiovisual.

With more than 20 editions in their own name in various publishers and formats, and dozens of participations in compilations, Tudela and Carvalhais have developed one of the most regular and productive partnerships in Portuguese experimental music. Maintaining a strong identity characterized by versatility and constant exploration, Tudela and Carvalhais often collaborate with other musicians and visual artists.
