« Upon the altar, I do lie,
My certainties to dust are turned.
Through shadow’s grasp, the radiant path doth rise,
I die, reborn, unto the Infinite Voice, eternally yearned. »

Syl Kougaï explores fluid movements and structures shaped in real-time, where each sound evolves in response to the others. The outcome is a pristine and refined sonic experience that will give you chills.

Pietro Da Sacco, IglooMag

« Its wildly unusual sonic code pushes the boundaries of common intervals, ushering in a flood of underground futuristic sensations. Patterns of untranslatable structures lead the listener through abstract mathematics and emotive sensations. A new welcome entry into multidimensional entities and unconfined sonic territories. »

Love dies from everything

Step into the haunting embrace of Modular Series • Season-02 episode 02: Love dies from everything. This track is a slow descent into sensual darkness, where every sound crackles and moans like the whispers of a fractured heart.

« The best Release since Bandcamp exists, nothing less »
Michael Ebert (ebertbrothers)

« Here we find the highly-skilled, France-based Syl Kougaï at his most creative where strange and captivating modular/industrial ice sheets scrape, scratch and screech their way through a myriad of glitchy soundscapes. Modular Series • Season-01 showcases not only overlapping and dense audio compositions, but also merges a personal and human feeling throughout this visceral visual and auditory display. »
IglooMag

« Syl Kougaï celebrated return with a new conceptual Modular Series of wonderful sonic display extending to epidermic sound design language, frequency establishment and cellular telepathy over side effects of intercourse alteration and toxic electronic rituals, a release evoking a wide spectrum of capabilities from an artist that is fully embracing emotions across all spectrums of life. »
