"Epilogue stands for "epilogue," and one could be mistaken for thinking that this is an album. Instead, it's a continuation of Martin Zaffran's plunderphonics aesthetic, focusing more on sounds, which give much of the album an air. There's also the sense of an artist taking his time to put out another album (a year after Exit). One of Zaffran's efforts ("David Hayter") comes from his 2017 solo album, visited here as a twisted instrumental; the other ("Reckoner") is all atmosphere. "On the Other Side" is a very assured number, given sufficient frisson by its guitar lines and strangely programmed rhythm sounds; "Welcome to Boulder City" is charged with menace; and "Epilogue" finally gets to a calm resting place of dripping guitars, floating electronics, and an Eno-esque atmosphere. If only the first half was as good as the first." - Ted Mills, AllMusic

Epilogue is the final album in a trilogy of plunderphonics records. Instead of using obscure material or heavily altering well-known songs, the intent was to take famous material and make new ambient and dance-oriented music out of it while having the original samples remain recognizable.

Epilogue was an exercise in album construction: samples were selected according to their track number. In other words, if a particular song is the first track on its original album, then it (along with alternate versions and live versions of it) is necessarily used in the first track of this record.

Epilogue was recorded between the 18th of June 2016 and the 8th of February 2017. It uses over 200 different audio samples, most of them songs from artists including David Bowie, Radiohead, Judas Priest, Björk, Metallica, Talk Talk, Michael Guy Bowman, Steve Roach, Brian Eno, and Roy Montgomery, among many others.

Special thanks goes to the people who playtested Epilogue, as well as all the artists whose music appears on the record.

Epilogue is dedicated to Lemmy, Prince, Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, George Michael, Jaki Liebezeit, and David Bowie.
