here is last weeks "listened to"
Mank is the ambient electronic project of Ben Powell, based in Bangor, North Wales. Ben has been recording as Mank since 1998 releasing “home made” CD’s on his Mankymusic label. Influenced by nature and maths the music is computer based, combining field recordings with real and virtual instruments. The last album "Isbjorn" was recorded whist on board a Russian polar research ship in the arctic ocean, most of the 8 Mank albums were born at sea.
Mank has received airtime on BBC Radio 1, Radio 3 and Radio Wales
"…..one of the most important electronic artists in Wales" – Adam Walton, Radio Wales
