    SiJ – The Lost World
    Label: Reverse Alignment– RA-13
    Format: CDr, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: Sweden
    Released: 31 Aug 2015
    Style: Ambient, Dark Ambient, Field Recording, Drone

    Vlad Sikach is returning to Reverse Alignment with a brand new SiJ album. This time with a grand force of collaborative artists such as Vadim Getiuk (Aeternam Nocte), Sergey Gabbasov, Tim Six (Creation VI), Vadim Grin (Dream Twice) and Robert Rich (among others). As is expected “The Lost World” shows the trademark of the classical SiJ sound, a lot of field recordings ending up with a very much organic and qualitive ambient, soothing and meditative but also combining rhythmic sections without loosing the floating touch of the atmospheres.

    Making this album Vlad Sikach took inspiration from the novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with the same title. More than hundred years later, “The Lost World” now gets a new form and media via the interpretation of SiJ.

    SiJ is an Ukrainian industrial/dark ambient project consisting of two members Vladislav Sikach and Alena Perepadya. SiJ was 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.

    All SiJ works come with special graphic design made by photographer and designer Alena Perepadya

    Jarl – Amygdala Colours – Hemisphere Rotation

    Jarl – Amygdala Colours – Hemisphere Rotation
    Label: Reverse Alignment ‎– RA-21
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: Sweden
    Released: 28 Mar 2016
    Style: Dark Ambient, Drone, Experimental, Minimal

    Jarl has a long discography behind him with more than 15 releases since his solo project started in the early years of the millenia. Describing his music as unbalanced, turbulent, withdrawn electronics that focus on isolation he’s made an impact on the electronic scene defining an own explicit sound.

    “Amygdala Colours – Hemisphere Rotation” is the second album on Reverse Alignment and follows the critically acclaimed “Case 1959 – Dyatlov”. But where previous album explored the external mysteries of Dyatlov 1959 Jarl take us unto an internal trip through the structures and events of the cognitive mind with a main focus on the Amygdala, where the processing of memory, decision-making, and emotional reactions occur.

    This album is built with layers of sound which slowely gets audible and disappears psychedelically. A variation of electronic and acoustic treatments has been used and the whole album is a mastodon track passing 50 minutes. As usual, the listener gets a mixture of drone, ambient and industrial that are molded perfectly into “that” typical Jarl-ish sound that sure wont dissapoint.
    Accompanied with the musical expression comes astonishing work from Karolina Urbaniak who designed the cover. It is as if you could touch the music.
