The
Australian solo music artist known as the Electronic Migration Panel
has released his newest LP, titled, “Koffie.” The record is a
highly experimental, neo-classical work of digital orchestration that
far transcends modern terms of musical classification. It is at once
an audible scene of an almost palpable, visible environment, and an
ambient digital music album that is extremely enjoyable from
beginning to end as traditional music listening. This full-length
album is preceded by EMP's debut record, “Quell – Electric,”
which was originally released in 2006 and re-issued in 2012.
The
overall experience of EMP is impossible to describe appropriately as
an objective hearer. The task is almost certainly best accomplished
by the Migration Panel itself, thus: “Electronic Migration Panel’s
music is a swirling, interconnected universe of electronic themes,
noise, and soundscapes. The music is produced on a variety of
analogue synthesizers, piano, treated drum machines,
electro-acoustics and found sound.”
The
Electronic Migration Panel is a self-funded, self-produced and
self-realised vessel for the solo projects of Perth-based composer,
Wheldon Thornley. Thornley is also known for his work as the keyboard
player, ethereal beats programmer and producer from the multimedia
collective, Masonik, with whom he has been collaborating for over
four years (for more details visit www.masonik.org).
Thornley
originally studied classical music, but moved to writing and
performing progressive rock in the early 1990s. He lists as main
inspirations such genius acts as Aphex Twin, Brian Eno, Harold Budd,
Boards of Canada, Can, Future Sound of London, The Orb, Tangerine
Dream, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, and Susumu Yokoto. This eclectic
blend of electronica, modern rock, techno, and experimental classic
rock shows very well how the swirl of sound that is the “Electronic
Migration Panel” has come to be, and influences from these various
acts (as well as myriad others) are easily discerned therein.
In
short, “Koffie” by the Electronic Migration Panel represents the
most creative music project to come out of an independent source in
perhaps many years, and absolutely deserves all the attention an
audiophile would give to such well-deserving projects.
“Koffie” is available online
worldwide beginning February 28, 2013.
