about

fragile.flicker.fragment is a deeply moving album. The fruit of an expert musician who has both a technical and intuitive grasp on sound design and composition. Every frequency is beautifully catered for in these tracks of shimmering acousmatic beauty and deeply resonating foundations. Each layer occupying its own place whilst building the overall acoustic experience. Adkins’ quest to reconcile abstract electronic sound material and melody is explored in this album. This is further strengthened by the inherent visual quality to the tracks, reflecting the relationship between his work and paintings by Pip Dickens (with whom he had begun to collaborate with).

In his own words, “Although I am interested in experimental sound I never start off from this point consciously. To me my music is a reflection of my humanity, the people around me and the friends who play on and record samples for albums. The tracks that eventually emerge are a result of my thoughts, emotions and relationships at that time.”

Monty Adkins is a composer and performer whose music is characterised by slow shifting organic instrumental and concrete soundscapes. Having worked across a number of genres since 1994 his work has, since 2006, become increasingly minimal and introspective. This recent work focuses on encouraging a deeper immersive listening experience. Working with a reduced sonic palette Adkins draws together elements from ambient, minimal electronica, acousmatic and experimental electronic music. His last album Five Panels released in April 2009 on Signature/Radio France was nominated in the 'album of the year' category at the 2010 Qwartz Awards, Paris and has now been licensed to Renault.
