Adem

You say 'AH-dem'. Weird but true.

About Me

Hey there, Adem here. I make music, put out by Domino Records. I have a new album due out; 'Takes' is an album of covers of music I love from the period 1991-2001. I've released two albums previously: Homesongs(2004) and Love and other planets(2006) and singles surrounding them. I play a whole bunch of colourful broken instruments and sing. I produce my own work, mostly in my home. I also make experimental instrumental music in Fridge and run a mass improvisation group called Assembly. I humbly invite you to visit my website www.adem.tv where you can find out a lot more.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/6/2006
Band Website: adem.tv
Band Members: I have been fortunate to have had tons of great musicians help me out. Currently, the live band consists of myself, Vince Sipprell, Emma Smith, Nancy Elizabeth, Fay Buzzard, Matt Lord and Chris Vatalaro. Previous members include Marc Shearer, Joe Goddard, Kenny Anderson, Johnny Lynch, Cameron Miller, Sarah Jones, Alex Thomas, Louisa Duggan, Stephen Cracknell, Chris Mayo, Ben Brown, Howard Monk and the Elysian Quartet, not to mention all the splendid musicians and audience members who have shaken and bashed things for me.
Influences: Way too hard. I'll have a good think and one day I may start...
Sounds Like: home. Sounds like space. Sounds like a bull in a toy shop. Sounds gentle and rough. Sounds ambitious and hopeless. Melancholic and uplifting. Sounds nothing like I assumed it would.
Record Label: Domino Records
Type of Label: Indie
