Title: Building and Sustaining Kinetic Energy: An Analysis of Momentum and Extended Structure in “JORD – Momentum (Extended)”
Abstract
This paper examines the structural, sonic, and psychological elements that create and sustain momentum in the track “JORD – Momentum (Extended).” By analyzing its arrangement, rhythmic propulsion, harmonic pacing, dynamic filtering, and use of extended format, we argue that the track exemplifies contemporary electronic music’s capacity for long-form narrative tension. Momentum is treated not merely as tempo, but as a composite of expectation, energy fluctuation, and textural layering. The “extended” version amplifies these qualities through elongated transitions, delayed gratification, and architectural builds. Through this case study, we propose a framework for understanding momentum as a designed emotional arc.
