MULTICAST DYNAMICS & SID HILLE - METAMORPHOSIS

1. Side A
2. Side B

For their 26th offering, London-based ambient imprint Astral Industries look again to the dynamic sounds of Multicast Dynamics (Sid Hille), with the composer offering up nearly fifty minutes of space-age cosmic sound exploration with 'Metamorphosis'. An extremely strong follow up to Hille's 2020 release 'Ancient Circuits'.  

Notes from the label - 

Multicast Dynamics returns to Astral Industries for AI-26, this time collaborating with Sid Hille, the German born, Finland based instrumentalist and composer. ‘Metamorphosis’ transmutes both artists’ unique styles into a synergistic blend of transportive storytelling, a delicate dance of light and dark.

Divided into two parts, ’Metamorphosis’ originates from a live performance recorded at Temppeliaukio church in Helsinki on March 2nd, 2019. The material was then edited, where Hille’s soothing keyboard work and haunting passages on the theremin, combine with processed textures and desolate sonic backdrops from Dijk. In this voyage beyond space and time, the subtle dialogue reveals new and perhaps unexpected dimensions in their creative arsenal, finding fresh new boundaries and enriching the palette of both performers. Encounters of sweet fleeting moments of lyricism emerge amidst the chilling outback, in which we're given some final consolation between the long lines of cavernous rifts and deep space tundra.
