Antwerp-based sound artist Lieven Martens (aka Lieven Moana) has been making and releasing music as Dolphins Into The Future since 2007. Many of the earliest releases came in the form of cassettes on small boutique labels such as Pacific City Sound Visions (the label run by Spencer Clark of The Skaters) or Cetacean Nation Cassettes, a subsidiary of Martens' own Taped Sounds label. With its obsessive focus on the ambient drift and primitive recording style of early new age music, Dolphins Into The Future materialized at the beginning of what was to become a major thread in the post-noise cassette underground. The project's breakthrough came with the 2009 release of the …On Sea-Faring Isolation LP on Not Not Fun, which further developed the DITF sound toward a uniquely contemporary iteration of exotica, with original field recordings playing an increasingly important role. He released earlier this year a new album entitled Canto Arquipélago on the Underwater Peoples label http://cetaceannationcommunications.blogspot.com/ http://www.radiocentraal.be/Realescape/programmatie/159 http://streaming.radiocentraal.org/ <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Dolphins+Into+the+Future">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
