Florian Kupfer 'Being Me' (Technicolor)
After 40 seconds or so of quite delicate, though high-pitched, chimes, Florian Kupfer hits us in the mush with a brutish kick drum.What’s really enjoyable about this unusual workout is the way in which Kupfer plays around with rhythm. Though it has a 4x4 foundation, ‘Being Me’ stutters, stops and starts and never rolls with a steady, monotonous beat. In tandem with this, we have those strange, shrill chimes, which are almost like baby birds calling out for their mother. At the close, Kupfer lets those chimes play out for over a minute-and-a -half without a beat.
