Ka-ya-ya provides its deep-sea dive into overlooked artifacts from the early 2000s-records that slipped past the mainstream, yet quietly became cherished discoveries for dedicated listeners. The next find is micro majong – Noise Conception: a 2005 debut album, now receiving its first-ever physical edition on cassette. First physical release. Limited to 50 copies.
 
micro majong is the project of Evgeniy Sidorov - a Siberia-based pianist, composer, producer, and mastering engineer. As a mastering engineer, he has contributed partial mastering work to selected releases by projects such as Der Blutharsch, Zero Kama, Birch Book, among others-operating where technical precision meets musical sensitivity.
 
Noise Conception emerged at a time when psydub and psybient still felt genuinely exploratory rather than stylistically "settled." Built from micro-detail and layered motion, the album balances intricate, multi-level rhythms with an intelligent, restrained drive. Its melodies are touching without becoming overtly emotional - more like an inner glow than a dramatic statement. The record unfolds slowly, yet keeps shifting its angle, as if the listener is moving through a three-dimensional sound structure.
 
Some music ages like technology. Other music ages like geology: it doesn't become obsolete - it becomes a layer worth returning to. Noise Conception is that kind of record. Twenty years on, it still feels strikingly fresh because it is driven by genuine inspiration, a strong internal logic, and the sense of an artist building a world without relying on formulas.
 
Recommended for listeners connected to the early-2000s intelligent electronic spectrum: Neural Network, Intergalactic Federation, Deep Space Network, Bluetech, Entheogenic, Moby, Aleph Zero, and related territories.
