Viaggio II

Wide soundscapes, nostalgic pads, heavy chords, rich textures and fragile plucked melodies, pull us to the deepest and darkest before bringing us back to the light. That’s the transformation path that Dive want to take us across all tracks. Dive, the album title, as a metaphor about leaving the surface and falling into the deepest emotions, face the unknown and therefor be forced to grow.

After his self-tittled and self-released debut album in 2019, a mixture of ambient, electronic and post rock, on this new album João Pedro Nogueira wanted to take on a new direction and focused only on ambient and electronic.

For the most of the sounds vintage analog synths were used.

Dive, Pt. 8

För alltid' is an album about time. The fuzzy & shapeless memories floating without coherence. Shortwave radio recordings picking up unbroken codes from the past. Hopeful voices whispering about a possible future from a hopeless now.

01. Old Amica - Vågorna På Arcus

This ambient album immerses the listener in a calm, expansive soundscape shaped by deep drones and soft, emotionally resonant pads. Slowly evolving layers drift through a quiet atmosphere where time feels suspended, allowing space for reflection, stillness and inner presence. The absence of rhythm and percussion gives each composition room to breathe, unfolding with a fragile sense of intimacy and depth.

Between gentle shadows and faint light, the sound shifts from darker, enveloping tones to brighter, almost weightless passages. Beneath the surface, a subdued sense of contemplation emerges — echoing moments where thoughts linger a little longer than intended, yet remain quiet, softened by warmth and subtle harmony.

A tranquil journey through atmosphere and emotion, designed for late-night listening, creative focus or moments of peaceful solitude.
