Working with museum-grade synthesizers and sequencers brings
the realizations of Jeffrey Koepper all the closer to the
electrical current at the source of all electronic music. His
cache of late model gear operates at the mechanical level
today's virtual modeling synthesizers attempt to recapture.
Certainly Koepper's diagnostic familiarity with this
equipment informs the music on Momentium. An interesting
balance between sensibility, technology and technique, this
album presents eight pieces which range from fluttering
thought tones, to echoing synth pulses, to cerebral powered
beatbox. Influence is an invisible shadow cast on this work,
as Koepper is ever reverential to both the artists and
engineers who pioneered the genre he now navigates within.
His endless fascination with the sequencer, a device meant to
provide a steady run of predetermined notes, dominates this
disc. The interlacing latticework of patterns becomes an
animated force carrying reverb laden harmonic figures into
the foreground. Koepper's subtle real-time adjustments to
timbre and counterpoint provides this work with enough
variation to keep it out of the realm of minimalism while
referencing this genre's pulsing motorlike motion and
incrementally expansive growth. In his music, Koepper is
seeking a sense of voyaging. Yet, as in all quality
spacemusic endeavors, we do not leave the listening area.
Momentium is a stationary adventure meant for the
contemplative audience.
Note: We consider ourselves at MP3 to be ahead of
the game when it comes to audio quality. We prefer
to rip to LAME 3.97b because it yields better sound
quality at a more efficient bitrate. However, the
scene is not yet prepared for 3.97b, as pzs-ng/glftpd
have not yet been updated to detect the presets in
this new encoder. In addition to this, some groups
have been taking advantage of using new LAME versions
or presets and have been sound shaping and altering
bitrates to make re-encoded webrips appear as legit
releases. As such, we have decided to revert to an
outdated version of LAME until the scene is prepared
for an update.
