@mongtong [ 夢東 ] Taiwan

Unreleased & Untitled tracks by Mong Tong

Mong Tong 兄弟3人組，他們聽著電子琴音樂、電玩配樂和迷幻搖滾長大。從民間傳說到外星人為題材，創作自稱的「迷信音樂」。

Mong Tong are brothers Hom Yu, Jiun Chi and 仝. They listened to what they describe as “Dianziqin music” along with video game soundtracks and psychedelic music. 

These inspirations combine with Taiwanese folklore and a love of conspiracy theories to form what they describe as “superstitious music.”

When an artist steps outside boundaries we're accustomed to, we're provided with the opportunity for a deeper understanding of their creative pursuit. The result either brings you closer to the individual, or takes you down a path you're not comfortable following. It's a process that will weigh on any artist's heart, but a necessary part of their inevitable evolution.

Sven Laux has always had an eclectic source of inspiration. Found sound producers naturally have their ears tuned to the possibilities heard in virtually any source of audio. Laux's music has taken an emotional turn over the last couple of years and his latest mix provides a bit of insight into that shift. With nearly an hours worth of heartfelt ambient, drone and contemporary classical sounds, enjoy this unique and personal look into Laux's creative vault.

Pluie/Noir Podcast is a bi-monthly audio-visual episode representing our work as an artist collective. Each episode will feature a one hour collage/mix by one of our producers/djs and a poster triptych by one of our designers. 

Some words from Toi Toi's Co-Founder & Resident:

"Kick back, open the blue door to your mind and let this feeling settle. While hugging your inner self you will be able to spot the sound of a pitch black ray of light whooshing by.

Reach out for the glimpse of darkness – try to grab it!

I would not call this a podcast - much rather I like to look at it as an audible collage coloured with found sounds and old field recordings that I’ve collected over the past years. Chopped samples and vocal snippets swirl around recorded synths and EFX from the studio.

Reach a state of abstract wellbeing, framed with master Theo’s funky black ass and sprinkle some nordish break jazz flavours over the top."

Enjoy!
Claus Voigtmann

Kater Blau Opening Set

This hybrid DJ / Live Set was recorded in a yurt structure at the Freerotation Festival in Wales. This time my idea for the set was to take us all much further out, much deeper inside than the set from last year. A more disembodied experience. 

As I had done last year, I sat on the floor in front of the speakers to perform instead of behind them as a DJ normally does. This greatly enhanced my feeling of experiencing the set with the audience, dissolving the usual performer / audience divide. 
Below is the list of tracks that I played in addition to live improvisation using a eurorack modular system.

Many thanks to Steevio, the whole Freerotation crew and everyone who experienced it there with me.

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. To be released end of May 2015, Denovali Records announces 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.

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.

The first installment of the series is entitled "Scape". Assembled with the use of analogue synthesizers, field recordings and lo-fi outboard effects, the album was constructed with a sporadic and spontaneous approach to sound and technique. This results in an array of calming, intriguing tracks with a fluctuating character and organic quality. Mysterious crackles, subtle hisses and washes of gloomy sounds reveal a dense approach to composition, processing and recording resulting in an introspective, ethereal and intense listening experience.

With this concept Multicast Dynamics explores organic and aqueous worlds in a dreamlike and spiritual appearance.

Aquatic System" is the second installment of the series, written and composed in two remote geographical places – namely at waters in Finland and Fuerteventura. Inspired by the complexity of water, its movement, various forms, inhabitants and hidden energy, the album was assembled mainly using synthesizers and processed field recordings of the ponds, streams, lakes and oceans of the different locations. With a vibrant story and conceptualization the focus lies in taking the listener on a observing, thoughtful and reflective journey through the aquatic system of our waters. Aquatic System opens with an impression of a frozen surface imagining icy and calm underwater movements underneath. Soon a slow process of melting begins and while the water starts to move in tiny streams of sound, small lifeforms evolve, curiously sending out small pulses in their flowing and constantly moving habitat. The aquatic nature awakens. Zooming out to larger waters high frequencies arise and colliding forms become audible. Larger marine life forms can be faintly heard when entering a much wilder environment, sensing sound-swirls of wind, foaming water tops and impressive large waves crashing on dark rocks. Finally ending at the shore, where the great ocean appears on the horizon, the environment is surrounded with moisture. From the calm reflective landscape derives an inward moment, recalling the organic and atmospheric quality of the sound journey.

"Aquatic System" has been developed into an audiovisual performance together with visual artist Emilia Kwiatkowska and was performed several times in Spain and Finland, before the music has been finalized for the album.

Reclaim Your City 122 | Ryuji Takeuchi

Космос. Межзвёздный простор. Холод бездонных глубин. Проносятся глыбы мёртвых планет. Серебрится алмазная пыль далёких светил. Атомные сердца сбиваются в редкие скопления. Где-то там, в тишине, обретается сама вечность. 
Мы поднимаем к небу глаза и всматриваемся в чёрный колодец Вселенной. Эти мерцающие в вышине угольки отделены друг от друга немыслимой пропастью, ни представить которую, ни уж тем более переступить человек пока не в силах. Самый глубокий космос - истинный, настоящий, стопроцентный - это средоточие одиночества, пустоты и бесконечности. Он чёрен как сама темнота. Он глубже самой глубокой бездны. И он молчит. Вечно.

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.

Multicast Dynamics - Scandinavia

Multicast Dynamics [ Field Records ] Netherlands

The mix has a mixture of influences between Asian landscapes, film noir soundtracks, grass fields by night and audiovisual surfaces of the inner space.
Not much to add other than that, just a collection of tracks that help to put my mind to a rest in all todays hectics. － Samuel van Dijk 

Multicast Dynamics aka Samuel van Dijk delivered this much expected mix to us in the beginning of Spring. This mix took us a long time to listen repeatedly, from the moment it starts to the end, we were deeply indulged in the dreamlike whirls. Such feeling lingers apart from the change of the surrounding, it even strengthens with intense stimulation. His music is rich with levels of creativity, and there are also entrances and exits; it doesn’t lose itself because the change of the environment. If you want to obtain more of his information, you can check out field records or his sound cloud. Enjoy.
