Personal Computer Music, 1997-2022 - Vinyl LP

Reclusive Melbourne electronic figure Jeremy Dower announces aquarter century-spanning compilation of previously unreleased music,split into halves to showcase his unpronounceable 90s ambienttechno project Tetrphnm, as well as the wistful faux-jazz recordingsmade subsequently under his own name.Personal Computer Music, 1997-2022 is the culmination of ChapterMusic's ongoing reissue series for Jeremy. In August, Chapter madehis earlier albums available digitally for the first time ever -Sentimental Dance Music For Couples (originally released in 2000via US label Plug Research, home to releases by Flying Lotus andJon Tejada) and Music For the Young and the Restless (originallyreleased in 2004 on Japanese imprint Bit Of Heaven).Inspired at first by austere German techno such as Monolake andMouse on Mars, Jeremy's sound world grew to take in influences asvarious as The Sea and Cake, Joao Gilberto, Jaki Liebezeit and AlainGoraguer. But Jeremy worked through these touchstones all alone onthe other side of the world, improvising systems of "subtractivecomposition" via cheap 90s sound cards, 12 bit samplers and bankednoise gates.His music evolved in a parallel but separate world to genres latercalled IDM or Microhouse, but really it sounds like nothing but JeremyDower - magically inventive, touching and personal.Efficient Space comped a Tetrphnm track on their much-loved 2018compilation of 90s Australian electronica 3am Spares. But PersonalComputer Music, 1997-2022 is your first chance to explore JeremyDower's compelling musical history with the depth it deserves.
