Monty Adkins’s “Moeror” reviewed by Ambientblog

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 5 June 2018

With its 21’27” length this is not a full Monty Adkins album, but we will not complain about that – especially since Atkins and Crónica offer this single track EP as a free download (as they call it themselves, but I prefer Name Your Price and suggest to leave a donation to the artist and […]

Simon Cummings’s “間 (ma)” reviewed by Blow Up

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 11 April 2018

Il titolo viene da una parola giapponese (ma) che ha a che fare con parti e intervalli.

They worked together on an installation at Bradford Cathedral, and Adkins created these pieces to expand on the meditative and light-filled quality of that show. The music is based on extended organ tones, and like classic recordings by […]
