Samuel van Dijk is an electronic music producer, sound designer and media artist from the Netherlands, having released electronic music under a variety of projects, namely, Mohlao and VC-118A. With his current project Multicast Dynamics he creates ever-evolving sound textures culminating in intriguing soundscapes while preserving a tranquil cinematic atmosphere. Drawing inspiration from nature, technology, film and fiction, his music productions, live sets and audiovisual work presents a carefully arranged, recorded and processed body of work, using a vast amount of layered sound textures, field recordings and live improvisation. In May 2015, Denovali Records released the first two albums of a four part series by Multicast Dynamics, conceptually linked by our undeniable connection with nature and its wide range of landscapes, colors and movement. Now the third album called SCANDINAVIA follows in October 2015??.  The album series moves from an evolutionary to a cosmological scale: Starting from dry land filled with light and streams, to the constantly changing surfaces of the oceans, into a frozen and murky underwater world, finally up to the arrival in an interstellar space and the cosmos. With this concept Multicast Dynamics explores organic and aqueous worlds in a dreamlike and spiritual appearance.

SCANDINAVIA is the third installment in the four part series. Assembled during the coldest season, it’s an album full of contemplative electronic recordings, created by the use of granular synthesis, obscure delay units and rudimentary looping techniques on magnetic tape. Recorded with a longsighted outlook, SCANDINAVIA features washes of subdued tones and textures as well as melancholic and warm sounding pulses of noise - all characterized by distinctive aquatic features. Steadily flowing, but slowly awakening the album draws frozen remote landscapes ranging from dark, cold and desolated to melting, warm and hope.
SCANDINAVIA opens with a bleak arctic environment in deep hibernation, where echoes of glacial bursts cut the silence. An undulating mass of viscous ambience sends out blurred out signals through the storm. In this inhospitable surrounding of frost and ice slow changes appear. The form of the landscapes alters and the cold air no longer hinders the breathing. Slowly meltwater seeps out underneath thick layers of ice, slowly building up in momentum and space. Layers of hypnotic atmospheres with barely perceptible undercurrents, brooding pulses of bass and tonal patterns lead to the core of the sonic landscape. Gently radiant layers of light and soil emerge and aquatic echoes expose new paths. The water is harnessed. Preparations for a long journey have begun.

One of the themes of this album is, I would say, dawn, new beginnings, taking the first steps on a new journey and so on, and many of the sounds used on it were recorded early in the morning. Several feature water, be it rain or a gently burbling forest stream. The recorded sounds were then processed in various ways to create soundscapes which hopefully have something of the life and organic feel of nature in them. A commentator online once described my Snufmumriko music as ”soundscape cloth woven from field recordings” or something along those lines, and i think that’s an apt description. There’s also an almost spiritual dimension to these tracks, and I was often in a very introspective mood as I created them.

Release notes: 

Almost seven years in gestation, Verdant Compost is finally ready to enter the public consciousness on Earth Day, 2017. A mammoth undertaking larger than any previous remix projects I've attempted before, Verdant Compost collects six discs of reconstituted Verdant Acre source sound, produced by a long and talented list of craftsmen from all over the world. 

The first four discs are sequenced sets of mixes, and the final two are themselves full-length album affairs by Zwei Kreise and Orson Throb, respectively. From deep and dubbed out techno to thick, textured drones, and everywhere in between, Verdant Compost casts a wide range of colors, temperatures and atmospheres, all built using source recordings from the same damaged vinyl sides and drum machines I used to create the original six volumes of the Verdant Acre series. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the many talented musicians who took part, in order of appearance:

The box set comes with six special glossy 4x6" photographic prints, mutated and reconfigured from the original Verdant Acre photography, housed comfortably with the six discs inside a VHS-tape sized black plastic box that matches the recent Verdant Acre reinstatement and the ambient companion Verdant Night. 

A humble and grateful thanks to all of the amazing producers who took part in this gigantic project - without you, we may have never known these half-familiar sound fields.

Moss Covered Technology - Departure Process

From 'Slowly Dismantling' on Room40, out on November 1.

With 'Slowly Dismantling,' Los Angeles based artist Yann Novak problematizes understandings of ambience as homogenous and static. 'Slowly Dismantling' deconstructs ambient, pulling it way from the blank and the atmospheric, refusing the perceived luxury of sound within which context is erased. Reflecting on his formative experiences as a queer youth in middle America, he explores the idea of these acoustic and social spaces as zones of liberation within which a spectrum of identity is formed. He creates a series of dense sonic fields that reflect on how the past can be decoded and utilized as a device for contextualizing the future.

Slowly Dismantling

All Things End, Sometimes In Fire

"Moonflowers" is an exploration of repetition and organic sounds. Fragments of delicate melody and harmony are decayed and obscured over time. Emotions frozen in the present. Flower and expand in the silhouette of the full moon.
