‘Impulsein’: Intensity to Calm

‘Impulsein’ begins quick, with pulsating synths and a building, sharp percussion that Subbuilds to introduce us to the song’s vibe. This introduction sets the tempo at this almost break-neck pace, with a groove that won’t relent for anyone.

The percussion on the track then begins to shuffle a bit, shifting the nature of the song’s vibe from a sprint to a jog. The vocal harmonies on the track subtly introduce themselves here, adding to this mood of elevated gravitas on the track.

By its half-way point, ‘Impulsein’ break’s down into the lilting piano melody that seems to cascade. Here the synth and percussion move out of the spotlight, while the vocals seem to increase in volume. The main focus in this second half is this emotionally elevated lilt that carries a lot of weight.

A weight that builds and manifests into something that begins to move the listener.

The vocal on the track helps build this with its tremulous timbre, slowing the song’s pace with layered strings and melodies. Here the song cools down into a trickle that cascades.

‘Impulsein’ by Jean-Philppe Ruelle builds in this sense of ascending, elevated intensity that keeps layering to create this moving, unforgettable experience. This an experience that stays with the listener even after first listen.
