Rain Reverie

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.

Time exposed (VAK17 - Life In A Shell)

My first gig with the monome norns and grid. Brought nothing with me but those two, using the Timber app. All was free form, triggered from the grid with some live tweaking, but a lot of work just done by Timber's lfo's and envelopes, to be honest.

For better or worse, the mix isn't processed at all, this is live directly from the norns. I kind of think the Timber filters sounded so good, I didn't want to do any additional processing on this.

Melting Ice Giant

Ned Lagin's Seastones is a pioneering electronic composition interweaving metaphors from nature, science, art and music and the origins of music. Reflecting the technology, science, modern art, new ecological awareness and optimism of the times and culture, Seastones embodies the history of electronic music by taking full advantage of tape music, analog synthesizers and computer technology to create pieces that are dynamic, rich and deep.

Originally released by the Grateful Dead's Round Records in 1975, Seastones' reputation as a gem of electronic music was further enhanced by the celebrity of the musicians who contributed to the source material. Seastones musicians include Ned Lagin (processed piano, clavichord, organ, prepared piano, electric piano, synthesizers), Jerry Garcia (processed electric guitar, pedal steel guitar, voice), Phil Lesh (processed electric bass), David Crosby processed electric guitar and vocals), Grace Slick and David Freiberg (processed vocals), and Mickey Hart and Spencer Dryden (percussion).

This new LP presents two crafted Seastones sets (Sets 4 and 5, 18 tracks) drawn from the entire Seastones composition and contains gorgeous extended processed vocals by Garcia, Crosby, Slick and Freiberg, and beautiful abstract instrumental passages by Lagin and all.

Ned Lagin - Seastones - Seastones 03 - LP available Nov. 3, 2020

"Waking up to the ever-flowing, ever-expanding limitlessness of time. An unexpected feeling of obliteration, intricate greatness and introspective madness. Promised lands of the post-internet age turn into a barren, yet artificial landscape. Silver linings are these Ordinary Days."
