Multicast Dynamics
Continental Ruins
Finland-based Samuel van Dijk is an electronic music producer, sound designer and media artist, having released
electronic music under a variety of projects, namely, Mohlao and VC-118A. Following on from 2015's highly praised album
quadrailogy, Multicast Dynamics releases his new ""Continental Ruins"" LP on Denovali Records. Inspired by decayed
infrastructure, Samuel van Dijk reveals his sound documentary about sunken cities and continents, landslides and
islands. A study on storytelling with sound, where electronic music acts as a verb, moved by images and narratives.
,Continental Ruins" LP is a journey through washed out, blurred particles, gliding across the ungraspable seafog of the
atlantic, transforming the visible into sound. The murky and desolated atmosphere throughout the tracks reflects an
forgotten utopia of places that were once populated. Unfolding fallen structures, immersing into the elusive, submerged
land, searching for signs of life in the lost memories of faded civilizations, Multicast Dynamics explores ultrasonic
underwater communication, decodes messages and browses through the archive of the past.
Written and produced with analogue synthesizers, arcane effect units and manipulated field-recordings, finally sequenced
with the computer and mixed using temperamental analogue mixers. ""Continental Ruins"" LP is a slow horizontal panning,
gliding through frames of sounds, creating textures and layers with unobtrusive rhythms. Samuel van Dijk delivers a calm
and organic sound journey, resting on gloomy swirls and hidden artefacts. Artwork by T. van Dijk.
