Description:

Koppe has been surprising the world by involving various collaborators and transcending genres and time-space. Following the retro sci-fi jazz album "milk" (2017) and the opera x modular synth "na na me na opera" (2019), his latest work is a surprisingly minimal solo piano piece! The music for "Mitsu (MITSU // 25 RPM)" was born from an improvisation on an old Nippon Columbia electric piano that was gathering dust in a corner of the studio.The album features six piano solos and one cover of Chaplin's "Smile" sung by Koppe (only this song features Jacob Kohler on piano and Jeff Curry on double bass), for a total of seven songs. The album is simpler than any of his previous works, and is essentially built on repetition of minimalist phrases.Combined with the sound of the electric piano, which is also processed with effects by Jakey, a close friend of mine, the sound of this album reminds me of Eno and Harold Budd's "Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror" (1980), or even further back, the music of Erik Satie, who is considered the originator of ambient and minimal music. The music of Erik Satie, the originator of ambient and minimal music, is also evoked.
