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.

Derek Carter (KapTep) about this release:

Ambient music seems to be fascinated by nature, oceans and the sky. For this KapTep release I wanted to explore the sky and more importantly all we can’t see, the millions of signals and mysteries that it hides.

I wanted to leave room for the songs to breathe and allow plenty of open spaces within them. At times these compositions may seem empty, that is by design. Although the current environment is to pick a track or two add them to your playlist.

I hope you will spend 49 minutes and listen to this as a body of work, as it was recorded to be listened to in one continuous sitting. In addition to the 6 original tracks there are two wonderful remixes added by Arrival In Eden, and Sacred Seeds.

Numbers Station – I’ve always been fascinated with them. The mystery and intrigue.

Naming the Sky – Melancholy drifting and not a care in the world.

LA Scanner – I simply love the voyeur nature of a cheap scanner.

Cold Luck Moon – Blurred images, sounds and emotions. Plus, three words that don’t mean anything together as a title.

I Need Light – In a world of conflict, doom scrolling and fear… I need light. In fact, I think we all do.

One Hundred Miles Until Sunrise – Have you ever driven somewhere and not remembered a second of it? Totally sober, auto-pilot. This is your soundtrack.
