Sypha Nadon: Everything

Produced by James Champagne

Recorded at MZR Studios 2025

Arranged using FL Studio

Recorded using Goldwave

Art + Design by James Champagne

Experimental electronic dances/dark ambiances/ghost-sketches/Flame + Shadow

"Jump Tribe" was one of the first new songs I've created in some time. It was an attempt to try to create a MIDI-type SN song in a non-MIDI format, with variable results, and is named after the Clive Barker book of the same title

"Monas Hieroglyphica" is Easy Listening for Iron Youth

"Troika: Movements I-III" are three older unused tracks spliced together, like a Gradius Mayor Parade. I didn't feel the need to flesh them out much, preferring them to remain as underdeveloped sketches of songs. Not everything must needs be a huge statement

"Episode 83" samples Nico's cover of "The End." The title is a reference to BERSERK

Muses: Coil - Aphex Twin - NIN - NON - Nico - Idea of Evil - Snakedrill

SYPHA NADON: THE VISITOR EP (COMING SOON)

 Coming Soon from Mauve Zone Recordings: Sypha Nadon's THE VISITOR EP [MZR054]

This 4-track trifle will be the netlabel's first release since 2022, which incidentally was also the date of the last Sypha Nadon album (the LOVECRAFT LP). Hopefully at some point I can get around to doing a proper full-length work, when time and inspiration permits

Tracks:

Jump Tribe
Monas Hieroglyphica
Troika: Movements I-III
Episode 83

Out Now: Sypha Nadon: Lovecraft [MZR053]

 

Mauve Zone Recordings is pleased to announce the Sypha Nadon LP LOVECRAFT. Unlike the conventional pop stylings of 2018's PLEASANT SONGS or the classy compositions of 2019's HIRAETH, this marks a return to the band's more experimental era, which is another way of saying lots of repetitious loops, pretentious song titles, unlistenable noise, and much pointless, meandering noodling. Disclaimer: aside from the album title and song names, this album actually has very little to do with Lovecraft.

As always it may be listened to/downloaded for free at the Mauve Zone Recordings Internet Archive page:
