ken seeno


"Baltimore, Maryland’s Ken Seeno displays a majestic array of crystal clear synthesizer arrangements. soaring melodies float high above the shimmer of the blue-green waters, looking down upon the colorful shore and the oceans beyond. this is Landscape Electronics." nna tapes

"seriously delightful synth tropicalia here, slow burning séances that indeed evoke images of sunshine and quality time at the beach watching (invisible) surfers, with a lot of chirping and bleeping probably emerging out of the nearby jungle." no fear of pop

de haber hecho una lista con los mejores discos del 2011, ken seeno seguro que estaría muy arriba. radiante, bonito a más no poder, con títulos de la vida tan llenos de vida como 'jugando al golf en el bosque diciendo adiós' 'el recuerdo de un día con una brisa agradable', 'el océano después de la tormenta', 'vidrieras de colores', 'atardecer en truck patch' y una música que suena exactamente así. un surfer invisible sobre una ola invisible, daniel lopatin meets j.d. emmanuel meets panabrite meets los delfines del futuro si cambiamos cetáceos por ranas, 'kind of like if john elliott and matt mondanile went hovercrafting in the everglades'.

dolphins into the future


"naturalist visionary Lieven Martens brings us along the latest voyage of his musical vessel, Dolphins Into The Future. “A Star Maker, Strange Dreams, and Clairvoyance” induces a state of lucid dreaming where we experience tales of romance, stargazing, cosmic motion, and eternity. not unlike a painter’s brush, Martens utilizes a sound palette of colorful, synthesized organics to bring the listener directly into the vivid and exotic world that Dolphins has spent years cultivating. after much anticipation, we’re very pleased to offer the latest creation of a true hero of the nu new age." nna tapes


"Lieven combines what sounds like a modified theremin or an auto-tuned saw, or just maybe some really creepy Birdsongs of the Mesozoic-type vocals with lots of deftly-placed, tinkling bells and other less identifiable ocean sounds. Lieven is obsessed with sounds of the ocean, but also sounds of the historical ocean, and he applies this obsession to his work with the mission statement "I create cetacean transfers". while listening to this work, you might experience a temporal transfer for sure." impose
