SiJ I SAW THE LIGHT

SiJ is an Ukrainian dark ambient/drone project created by Vladislav Sikach in March 2011 in attempt to develop unique sound combined with various industrial features mostly in sombre dark ambient way. For this reason, SiJ uses great number of instruments such as various guitars, drums and synthetizers as well as handmade mechanical or electromachanical sound devices. Recently SiJ started to use field recordings made in various places from urban streets to abandoned military and industrial facilities. Another tools for creating SiJ's soundscapes are VST-technologies, digital sound processing and CSound sound-synthesizing programming language. SiJ used to cooperate with many ambient, dark ambient, drone, industrial and noise projects as well as with people who work only with field recordings.

SIGUR ROS - LIMINAL

liminal is much more than an ambient sigur rós mixtape curated by jónsi, alex somers and paul corley. liminal views sigur rós as an eco-system. it identifies the connections and blurs the boundaries between work done and work to come; between brand new music and ideas barely yet nascent; between songs written 20 years ago and collaborations to be made tomorrow.

in bringing together these collaborations and commissions – for choreographers, visual artists and new technologies – with solo work and remixes, film score and generative music, as well as the work of close friends and associates in the wider sigur rós ‘family’, liminal aims to take the listener to a hinterland, to the threshold of a place neither nor there; a “liminal” space. liminal will live on digital services as an ‘endless’ playlist, which means it will be built over linear time into a never-finished project of ceaseless invention.
