`: It might not have been so long :'
`: since Jeff Witscher released his :'
`: debut "proper" album under the Rene :'
`: Hell moniker, but he's kept himself :'
`: busy in the interim all the same. :'
`: Since "Porcelain Opera" Jeff has :'
`: put out a whole series of :'
`: collaborations, 7"s, tapes and :'
`: splits but few of these have given :'
`: even a hint at what to expect from :'
`: this sophomore full-length. Looking :'
`: to his love of classical minimalism :'
`: Jeff took this as the starting :'
`: point for the record; he is quick :'
`: to state however that this is not :'
`: homage but a reinterpretation of :'
`: those specific forms. The result is :'
`: a deeply electronic rendition of :'
`: this classical formula; the digital :'
`: and analogue synthesizer and drum :'
`: machine sounds that brought :'
`: "Porcelain Opera" to life are :'
`: reframed and transferred into a :'
`: very different compositional :'
`: structure. :'
`: :'
`: "The Terminal Symphony" is Jeff's :'
`: attempt to write tighter, more :'
`: composed pieces of music û :'
`: something of a reaction against the :'
`: glut of long, often-flabby drone :'
`: compositions that have become a :'
`: mainstay in the scene. The pieces :'
`: here are short, concise, and packed :'
`: full of ideas that can take :'
`: multiple listens to unravel, and :'
`: the album, as a whole is almost :'
`: obsessively structured and complex. :'
`: Each side of the record is composed :'
`: very specifically with a beginning, :'
`: middle and an end (as opposed to :'
`: the almost expected prolonged :'
`: noodling jam) and when we begin :'
`: with the familiar grunt and grind :'
`: of "Chamber Forte" it is only mere :'
`: minutes before the track dissolves :'
`: into the main theme of the album. :'
`: The sounds we became familiar with :'
`: on "Porcelain Opera" are pushed :'
`: slowly into the background to allow :'
`: these new symphonic passages to :'
`: shine through. An appropriate :'
`: enough comparison might be arch- :'
`: recluse Aphex Twin, but there is no :'
`: pandering to dance music culture :'
`: here. Rather Jeff has used his :'
`: enviable background in noise, punk :'
`: and synthesizer music to come up :'
`: with something totally removed from :'
`: the current scene, and absolutely :'
`: singular. :'
`: :'
`: The album comes to a close with the :'
`: hauntingly melancholy and :'
`: purposefully referential "Adagio :'
`: For String Portrait". The dancing :'
`: synthetic blips that pirouette :'
`: across Witscher's mournful :'
`: electronic waves not only re- :'
`: enforce the decades long love :'
`: affair between electronic and :'
`: classical music but help to define :'
`: it in 2011. :'
