The Circular Ruins (Anthony Paul Kirby) is exploring a personal
realm of assertive, emotional ambient music. A fascinating
series of electronic poems that invent a sonic sphere all their
own, FALLING INTO THE SKY (64'11") attempts to liberate the
mind of the listener from its own self-impression. As
soundscapes gradually shift and unfold, textures transform and
we linger easily within a wondrous soundworld. Synthesizer
pads churn behind fluttering atmospherics while further in a
digital wind stirs up strange cosmic debris. Narrative runs adrift
and the hiss and murmur of distant chords occupy the
foreground. Vibrating with energy, FALLING INTO THE SKY
inhabits the amorphous area between the earth's surface and
outer space, and continually reveals itself in revelations revealed
in repeat visits.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from FALLING
INTO THE SKY by The Circular Ruins

Live on STAR'S END - Jeffrey Koepper

In 2003 Jeffrey Koepper presented the world with a long-awaited
studio album. ETHEREA demonstrated a mastery beyond the
technical side of his craft. The music alternates between
analogue bubbles and digital ice, and bright, smooth, spacious
tonal landscapes. The CD MOMENTIUM followed in 2006, and
references this genre's pulsing motorlike sequencer motion and
incrementally expansive growth.

Jeffrey Koepper made his solo concert debut on Saturday 19 May
2007 in Philadelphia opening for Steve Roach at The Gatherings
Concert Series. His next performance will be a live in-studio
radio concert on the 27 January 2008 broadcast of STAR'S END.
Tune in this week for info.
