SYGMATURE 1 is a compilation of modern atmospheric music, a milestone of radio.syg.ma’s year of existence. Twenty two international artists, musicians and producers who contributed to the radio took part in this release.

Featured artists present different styles and approaches to recording soundscapes, inspired by experimental ambient, field recordings, electroacoustic, musique concrète and low-fi electronics. Sounds and atmospheres they create range from futuristic, distorted or high-pitched to more meditative and somewhat esoteric.

This is the first release in series of compilations curated by radio.syg.ma and made possible due to contributions and donations. High-quality audio downloads and donation links are available at: https://radiosygma.bandcamp.com/album/sygmature-1

[BD010] Microtub – Chronic Shift LP

Microtub is the world’s first and only microtonal tuba trio, exploring Just Intonation and the rich harmonic potential of the tuba. This album features material from Robin Hayward’s pieces „Sonic Drift“ and „Star System“, recorded in the stunning acoustics of the large water reservoir in Berlin-Pankow, reworked and mixed with analogue synthesizers by Peder Simonsen.

Recorded in „Kunstkopf“ stereophony, this unlikely combination of tubas and simple synth pitches provides a meditative and immersive experience, and an auditory glimpse into a truly unique acoustic space. While „Chronic Shift“ zones in on the neutral microtonal harmonies that underly „Sonic Drift“, the synths on „System Reboot“ mainly shadow the harmonics in the giant room, both as sustained pitches and as spaced out droplets lending movement to the track.

Martin Taxt – microtonal C tuba

Perila is the project of artist, DJ, and radio.syg.ma co-founder Sasha Zakharenko. Over the last few years she's been exploring themes of intimacy and the more elusive layers of reality through mixes and recently her own music; turning to sound as a means of getting in touch with and transmitting life shifts. I'm honored to share her evocative debut EP for Motion Ward, 'Dust 22'. The cassette features a 21 minute live take alongside three songs that occupy a similar state of feeling.

~

One day you feel
overwhelmed. 
Then this pressure 
dissolves and becomes 
dust. 
Intimate layers of what is 
real and not resurface. 
Dust dissolves in silence 
emptying spaces for 
change. 
Sounds ripple and float
shaping forms which 
disappear after hearing them
as if they were never there. 
You were never here. 
Slow drifts on a surface
of ephemeral reality. 
Life is dust cruising 
quietly in the mind of an observer.

“I've recorded & compiled about 18 minutes of material spanning four distinct movements, that delves into anecdotes of queer sensuality, passing intimate moments, regret, and fleeting melancholy.  Many of these sounds were found around my home and are a personal reflection of a lot of things i've never been able to express with words.”

Ben Bondy – ilshift motive b

a cover of one of the best songs of all time

moving down the highways of my life
making sure i stay to the right
moving down the highways of my life
so i can't be concerned
with the other side of the road
leaving all the sorrows and the pain
there's no love between us
although you are the one
you're not the same
so the other side of the road
can only take me back home
