Jan 24, 2019A stunningly controlled and moving work, for fans of ambient and instrumental music Temporal is a must-listen.
-
Jan 24, 2019Temporal, transforms music initially written for theatre and dance into standalone pieces. Often these are simple constructions--a looped bassline, a drone, a simple melody repeated over and over again – but the effects can be pleasantly disorientating, suited to an album that aims to explore temporality and motion.

Jan 24, 2019With Temporal, Julia Kent continues to craft cerebral yet accessible epics, encompassing a vast spectrum of emotions using a limited set of tools.

UncutJan 24, 2019Like much of Kent's work, the mood is melancholy and the focus is on her intricate production. There's plenty to admire in Kent's elegant phrasing, her cello longing and mournful. [Feb 2019, p.27]

MojoJan 24, 2019Less electronic in feel than its predecessor, this is music on a truly human scale in terms of its inspiration, delivery and undeniable emotional punch. [Mar 2019, p.97]
-
Mar 20, 2019Perhaps the tracks throughout Temporal have a strikingly different impact when paired with the theatrical and dance performances that inspired them. Taken solely as a musical product, however, they still shine, works with nuance and deep understanding of their source elements.
