Sigmud (Julian Peralta)
34 years old musician from Argentina and his music is inspired in dreams and
distants voyages to lost worlds.
Sigmud is similar to Sigmund Freudīs name because the songs emerge from his mind to your
heart. The songs talk about strange people and obscured places.
He release 7 albums during 5 years (2001 to 2006) ,
"Music from outer space"
is a song compilation , more electric and experimental
than the others album`s songs. Principal instruments are the
imagination and the improvisation. "I have no music knowledge and i do
it all by myself"Sigmud says. This album is a soundtrack of a film that will
never be released but it will be always in my mind and dreams. I
have different influences like space- rock styles , rock and
electronic styles. He think the music is in our mind , we can hear
sinfonies, bird`s songs and thunders but our feelings come from our
brains. The colors of the sounds are the same colors of our soul,
Itīs simple.

Review by -Jiituomas, Kuolleen Musiikin Yhdistys (Finland)
The Argentinian Sigmud (Julian Peralta) presents this time a more experimentalist side.
Music from Outer Space is a collection of different sorts of experimental tracks,
according to the artists a soundtrack to his internal movie. The sound-range is highly uniform,
but style and type of composition very diverse. At one point, it's all slow electro,
at another it's retro-ambient, and so on. The elements are beautiful in themselves,
and the artist clearly knows what he is doing, but the result just isn't that charming.
The feel of it all is somehow very abstract and remote. And at some points there are simply weird moves,
such as the "Jean-Michel Jarre on drugs" -sounding Sounds of the Moon.
The Imagination Factory, which spans the last five tracks of the album, is of a very different
quality than the parts preceding it. It is a fine, well-developing composition that has a very cold feel to it (this time in a good sense).
On it the lack of common thread, so annoying in the first 11 tracks, has been turned into a benefit.
It too is quite irritating, but in a different, interesting way. It also, to put it cruelly,
show how much better the whole album could have been, if it had been merged into a solid whole.
Friend of chaotic laptop stuff may enjoy this, but for others the material is probably too
diverse and too dissonant.
