Dolphins Into The Future

**Dolphins Into The Future** is the ambient/experimental project of Belgian musician and composer Lieven Martens. Blending field recordings, synthesizers, and oceanic textures, Martens creates immersive soundscapes that evoke drifting tides, tropical ecosystems, and meditative isolation. His work often feels like a sonic postcard from a utopian coastal reverie, balancing environmental awareness with a playful, almost New Age-inspired sincerity.

Active since the late 2000s, Dolphins Into The Future has released albums like *Canto Arquipélago* and *Songs Of Gold, Incandescent* (later expanded in 2019), which highlight Martens’ fascination with islands, water, and the interplay between natural sounds and melodic minimalism. His 2017 album *The Music of Belief* leans into hypnotic loops and hazy atmospheres, cementing his reputation as a cult favorite in the ambient scene. While Martens keeps a low profile, his music feels like a love letter to Earth’s hidden corners—perfect for daydreaming about imaginary voyages or quiet coastal sunsets.
