Why “Dynamic Range Day” is a really bad name. And come to think of it, why “dynamic range” probably isn’t what you think it is. And neither are “dynamics”! And why the Loudness War hasn’t changed them. At least, not one kind – or not in the way that you think. Because physics. It’s complicated!

Plus special bonus topics: Autotune and Taylor Swift (!)

Trained Violin player and compulsive traveler, Sumac Dub has found in music a way to create unknown worlds that explores without limits.

The artist has drawn most of his inspiration through his various journeys in Asia and in Middle East. Enriched by multiple musical influences and largely influenced by the current electro dub scene, Sumac gave birth to its own dub in which harmony and power come together brilliantly.

Always armed with his violin, it is once on stage that the artist really comes to establish his identity in a real fusion of raw energy and mystical delicacy. Thrills guaranteed !

Thank you for listening :)

I began my musical journey at age 7 with the piano. In my early teens, I was drawn to the guitar, inspired by icons like Slash. Alongside my two friends, all of us guitarists, we formed a band and I embraced the electric bass, recognizing its significance (alongside the drums) in modern music genres. Growing up in choirs my mother Halla Soffía Jónasdóttir sung in, I started myself singing more and more.

In my late teens, my passion for the piano resurfaced, leading me to focus on jazz piano, and a bit of bass, at FÍH music school. There, I had the privilege of learning from exceptional mentors, including Agnar Már Magnússon, Eyþór Gunnarsson, Jóhann Ásmundsson, and Sigurður Flosason.

Around the turn of this century, I was in the band KUAI which shone brightly before fading out. Throughout my journey, I collaborated with many talented musicians, yet my most enduring partnership remains with Sindri Bergmann Þórarinsson. Currently we produce music as Kanez Kane.

You can find more details about these collaborations in the 'Description' section of the corresponding tracks.
