Rudi Zygadlo (aka Golden Ratio Syrup) was on Vic Galloway’s BBC Radio Scotland show earlier this month performing live and discussing the projects he’s been working on, including Golden Ratio Syrup. Check the performances throughout the show here.
And here’s another link to click in case you missed the Golden Ratio Syrup / Cut Tongues film for ‘A Screaming Comes Across the Sky’ when it premiered the end of last month.
We are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the Cut Tongues & Golden Ratio Syrup ‘A Screaming Comes Across the Sky’ film. Golden Ratio Syrup’s project up until now has been anonymous, but today via Noisey, it was announced that the project is the work of Planet Mu / Mad Decent affiliated producer Rudi Zygadlo! You can read the whole article here.
The artists had this to say about the project.
“This is a highly personal project. The three of us have spent a lot of time together, listening to chamber music and taking certain mind exploding chemicals. The idea to collaborate came from that psychotropic period. We (Cut Tongues) were greatly inspired by Rudi’s piece of music. Our starting point was the piano sequence. Its painfully slow tempo connoted an image of laborious and aimless struggle. We then began to look into Erik Satie, who is explicitly referenced in the composition. Satie was an eccentric, to say the least: he claimed to only eat white food, kept two grand pianos stacked on top of each other, one for storage, and once sentenced himself to death in a letter to a Parisian newspaper. His sense of carnival and penchant for games inspired a whole series of invented sports, a Breugelian human landscape if you will. This is the central idea for the film: life as a meaningless sport with an arbitrary set of rules. And yet we must throw ourselves into it with joyous abandon.” – Cut Tongues & Golden Ratio Syrup

Boiler Room Debuts has premiered another piece from Golden Ratio Syrup’s debut release, “A Screaming Comes Across the Sky”. This section of the release, which is really meant to be listened to from start to finish as one complete ‘track’, is part of the climactic ending of the work.
If you’d like to have this on vinyl, the only place to get it is through Ninja Tune’s Beat Delete crowd sourcing site.
We are so excited for everyone to hear the full album when it drops this coming Monday, January 12th through all fine digital retailers and streaming sites.
The first NOREMIXES release from Golden Ratio Syrup is now available for pre-order on iTunes and Bandcamp. When you pre-order, you will receive an instant download of the track “Here’s a Knife”, …a metallic and throbbing granular workout with piano and vocal swells.
If having this release on a limited edition green vinyl 12″ is more your thing….. then please head over to Beat Delete to order a copy. We would really like to see this release pressed to wax!
We are happy to announce the very first NOREMIXES release! The release comes from a producer working under a brand new moniker, Golden Ratio Syrup. Instead of boring you with background info about who Golden Ratio Syrup is, the artist has asked to remain anonymous and let the music speak for itself.
Label founder, Paul J. Geissinger (aka Starkey) had this to say about Golden Ratio Syrup. “I was sent the demo as one long mp3 file. I started listening through my laptop speakers, but after about 4 minutes had to get in the studio and listen to it on some real speakers. It’s an amazing record and perfect for the first release for NOREMIXES.”
Golden Ratio Syrup’s self-titled debut will be released on January 12th of 2015 through all digital retailers and streaming sites, as well as the NOREMIXES bandcamp page. There will also be a limited edition green vinyl 12″ available through Ninja Tune’s crowdfunding site, Beat Delete. You can order that directly HERE. (The 12″ comes with a free digital download.) There are previews of two tracks from the release as well.
