Mathew Adkins is an electroacoustic music composer born March 29, 1972 in Leamington, UK, and currently living in Huddersfield, UK. Website: http://www.mathewadkins.co.uk/
Mathew Adkins is a composer, performer and lecturer in electroacoustic music. He read music at Pembroke College (Cambridge, UK) and then, in 1993, became a member of the BEAST (Birmingham ElectroAcoustic Sound Theatre). He studied electronic music with Jonty Harrison and then Simon Waters. It was at the age of 22 that he first came to international attention with the electroacoustic works Melt and Clothed in the Soft Horizon. Between them these works were awarded the Stockholm Electronic Arts Award (Sweden), the Résidence Prize (Bourges, France) and the Grand Prix of Musica Nova (Prague, Czech Republic). He has since won more than a dozen international prizes for his work, which has been performed and broadcasted throughout Europe, USA, Canada, Australasia, China, and Asia. He has worked in a number of prestigious European studios, including EMS (Stockholm, Sweden), Ina-GRM and IRCAM (Paris, France), Césare (Reims, France), and Heinrich Strobel Studio (Freiburg, Germany).
In the early 1990s, Adkins concentrated predominantly on acousmatic concert music but has since diversified into composing electronic works for contemporary dance, multimedia works, and electroacoustic music. What he is particularly drawn to in writing such works is the collaborative process that evolves between the composer and artist/performers.
