Adam Kriney is a Brooklyn, NY based drummer/musician who runs the Colour Sounds Recordings label and is involved with all of the groups/projects on the label, all of which you can find out about here.
Since he began playing drums in 1994, he had a long history in the NJ/CT/MA punk/indie music scenes performing and releasing music with many different projects/groups (discography coming soon!).

Review
from The Big Takeover, issue #55, by Steve Holtje
Adam Kriney "Duo Explorations Vols.
1 & 2" 2xCD
"Drummer Kriney used to play in the Massachusetts prog-rock group
THE NATIONALE BLUE, but here he's purely a free-jazz player. These two
sessions were recorded just before he moved to Brooklyn; they find him
teaming with acoustic bassist Brad Schirmer on the first disc and alto/tenor
saxophonist John Keegan on the second for unfettered improvisations. The
bass/drums disc might seem like aficionado territory, but Schirmer's melodic
approach and the rapt responsiveness of the musicians captivate. Kriney's
most energetic playing comes with Keegan, who hold his own amid the barrage
with keening twists and turns, bold altissimo excursions, and a strong
vibrant tone (think Charles Gayle). At just $5 (inlcuding postage!), there's
no excuse for not checking out these young talents."
