Aquatic System (Gate)

In his new series of concept albums, electronic music producer Samuel van Dijk 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, and 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. Aquatic System is the second installment of the series, written and composed in two remote geographical places: Finland and Fuerteventura. Inspired by the complexity of water, it's movement, 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.
