Zen Flow

Ding-ding, like pieces of ice, metallophone sounds bounce off stones in the frost and, striking, change their shape, become thick and viscous, barely transparent, flowing downward. This is how time slows down, disappearing under the veil of tape, where naive childhood melodies decelerate and stretch. Whether from overwhelming nostalgia or from the realization that none of this ever existed.

syndryang is a project by Vladimir Sychev, whose childhood was spent in the far north in Novy Urengoy. According to the beliefs of the Nenets who lived in what is now the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, a person consisted of a body and two souls: breath ("ind'") and shadow ("syndryang"). Breath was the common soul of all living things, from humans to plants. The shadow, however, was half-independent: it accompanied a person, protected from other shadows and underground beings, brought dreams. The loss of shadow led to illness and madness.

self-titled '24 is an attempt to capture what slips away: the feeling of home in a place you want to leave, and longing for a time that perhaps never came. Cassette recordings and melancholic melodies, digitized and filtered through the prism of modern technology, create a double exposure effect of time. Here lives a blurred past, where genuine and imagined memories interweave into one sonic picture.

------------------------------------------------

Дзынь-дзынь, словно кусочки льда, звуки металлофона отскакивают от камней на морозе и, ударяясь, меняют свою форму, становятся густыми и тягучими, еле прозрачными, стекают вниз. Так замедляется время, исчезая под пеленой плёнки, где наивные детские мелодии замедляются и растягиваются. То ли от накатывающей ностальгии, то ли от осознания, что всего этого никогда не было.

syndryang — проект Владимира Сычёва, чьё детство прошло на крайнем севере в Новом Уренгое. Согласно представлениям ненцев, живших на территории современного Ямало-Ненецкого автономного округа, человек состоял из тела и двух душ: дыхания («инд'») и тени («синдрянг»). Дыхание — общая душа всего живого, от людей до растений. Тень же была наполовину самостоятельной: она сопровождала человека, защищала от чужих теней и подземных существ, приносила сны. Потеря тени вела к болезням и безумию.

self-titled '24 — попытка ухватить то, что ускользает: ощущение дома в месте, которое хочется покинуть, и тоску по времени, которое, возможно, никогда не наступало. Кассетные записи и меланхоличные мелодии, оцифрованные и пропущенные через призму современных технологий, создают эффект двойной экспозиции времени. Здесь живёт размытое прошлое, где подлинные и выдуманные воспоминания сплетаются в одну звуковую картину.

Bona Fide EP

Bona Fide Pt. 1

Artist: ASUNA & Jan Jelinek
Album: Signals Bulletin
Label#: Faitiche18
 
Faitiche is delighted to announce the release of a new collaboration between the Japanese sound artist ASUNA and Jan Jelinek: the album Signals Bulletin brings together joint improvisations and compositions made over a period of three years in Berlin, Kyoto and Kanazawa. ASUNA’s meandering organ drones merge with Jelinek’s pulsating synthesizer and field recording loops to create dense superclusters that span broad harmonic arcs.

-

Watching the Japanese sound artist ASUNA playing the organ, some people might be surprised. ASUNA is no virtuoso flying over the keyboard in a rage. Instead, with the calm gestures of an office worker, he cuts strips of adhesive tape to the correct length before sticking them onto the keys of his instrument. In this way, large clusters of keys are held down, creating a dense and sustained range of frequencies, while the sound artist continually prepares further sets of keys or removes tape again. I have rarely seen a more convincing performance concept, with such a power to fascinate.

I first met ASUNA when we both gave a concert at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, his home city. He performed the organ drones as described above and I immediately knew I wanted to collaborate with him. Six years and five meetings later, we completed Signals Bulletin. The album includes both joint improvisations and compositions, recorded in Berlin, Kanazawa and Kyoto.

Whether using prepared organ, Casio keyboards or mechanical plastic toys, ASUNA creates rich textures of sound that barely change over long stretches of time. It is a music without breaks. For a while, I was unsure how my loops made using modular synthesizers and live sampling fitted here – until I realized the role I had to take in this duet: I would provide the rhythmically pulsating foundation over which his dense continuums could unfold.

The result is harmonically drifting superclusters that put us into a meditation-like state. It can perhaps be compared to Automatic Writing – a mode of creative expression floating somewhere between concentration and distraction. Both the structure of our pieces and our approach to our instruments allow a similar “absence”: we let the machines play and repeat themselves – while we, in a mild form of trance, adopt the role of observers, intervening only occasionally.

It is no coincidence that ASUNA owns a collection of Doodle Art – drawings jotted down during conversations or while talking on the phone. It is said that works made like this point to the unconscious and reveal pet motifs – because a doodler always inadvertently returns to his or her favourite themes. The artwork for Signals Bulletin features pictures from the collection, in this case sheets of paper from the pads provided in stationery shops to test out pens. The special quality of such doodles is that the jumble of drawings is the work of a collective whose individual members do not know each other. Layer by layer is added, by someone different each time – until it becomes a dense cluster of lines and symbols ...
