We replay moments over and over in our heads, re-examining every word, every look, every surrounding detail. In Moeror (latin for sorrow or grief), I examine how our memory of events is never perfect, sometimes we embellish, sometimes we mis-remember aspects, causing us eventually to question what is real and fabricated. In the piece, materials repeat, sometimes exactly, at other times with additional processing or temporally shortened, eventually leading to change. In Moeror, I want to explore Margulis\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s concepts about why repetition is so psychoemotionally enticing even in melancholic works, and Joanna Demers&#8217;s notion that, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153tragic art furnishes catharsis or purification \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 there is a thrill in anticipating the dissolution we know is in store\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 it is an exquisite tragedy always ending the same way.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>The work is dedicated to J\u00c3\u00b3hann J\u00c3\u00b3hannsson and those we hold close in our memory.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1167942776\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=333333\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"http:\/\/cronica.bandcamp.com\/album\/moeror\">Moeror by Monty Adkins<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Composed by Monty Adkins<\/li>\n<li>Mastered by Taylor Deupree<\/li>\n<li>Cover image by Rob Lycett<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cronicaelectronica.org\/releases\/140\">Moeror<\/a> is available as a <a href=\"https:\/\/cronica.bandcamp.com\/album\/moeror\">download<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music takes place in time, but repetition beguilingly makes it knowable in the way of something outside of time \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 it feels like a different way of inhabiting a passage \u00e2\u20ac\u201d a different kind of orientation.
