Monty Adkins - Still Juniper Snow



And Monty Adkins again...
This time using the sound of Sarah- Jane Summers and Bozzini Quarter chamber tone, blending Scottish and Norwegian classical ethnic music traditions. The subtlety and sheer, deep romanticism brought through the alterations, re-usage, cross-referencing, re-purposing as in overpainted, overexposed Gerhard Richter's photos is both seamless and adds some extra layer of meanings.
As with Monty's work - it is highly conceptualised - the idea of hard work that he put is astonishing but frankly doesn't add to the fact that it's a pleasure to listen.
Modern classical composition - be it sonorous or more harmonic and on the pair of any other chamber work is a value of its own - elemental and tinkling, vibrating with meaning but sometimes overexposed with intellectual aspect, in this case a mathematical permutation which may be highly regarded my academical theorists. To me, always searching for more occult and mystical phenomena translated into the language of science is not always convincing.
But still the work put here is immesurably magnificent.
