Raining Satellites

Adam Hartman’s road from Sterling Virginia to Los Angeles, California has provided him with ample life experiences to create the emotion-driven lyrics behind the songs of his band, Raining Satellites. "The first EP that an artist writes could be called 'life up till now,'" remarks Adam about the band’s soon-to-be-released, EP "Bright Lights and Blinding Flashes". “The songs are part of a concept album that touch on things like life's vicious cycles , blind faith,loss and frustration…they have a lot to do with my own journey, as well as those around me; they're about times when I've felt stuck, far away from where I wanted or intended to be. But ultimately, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Life doesn't exactly go as planned, it's kind of out of our hands to some extent. Thankfully, there always seems to be a way out of impossible situations.”

The song "Blinding Flashes" explores ones reaction to a drastic change " people seem to shut things out that they don't want to see and distract themselves with false perceptions of their own reality".” The Great Escape” describes the common frustration of getting to a place in life where you think, "How in the world did I end up here, this isn't where I wanted to be, watching the life I wanted pass me by as I constantly stay focused on the past." “The lyrics have shades of melancholy, and there is a definite emotional undercurrent running through them,” says Adam. “If you can't tap into emotion, you're just selling catchy tunes.”Raining Satellites considers its music to be influenced by everyone from Miles Davis to Massive Attack, and anything in between. "We're no respecter of genre," says Adam, "If it's a good song or a good artist whether rock, pop, classical or jazz, they've probably influenced me on some level.... nothing’s new under the sun, we're a sum of a bunch of parts." They aspire to move their listeners the way Tom Yorke does onstage. “You go to a Radio Head concert and it's like church,” Adam says. “I'd love to make people feel like that. I don't want someone to just say, ‘Oh, he has a nice voice.' I want that person to walk away and feel like he or she has had a religious experience.”

In addition to his work with his own band, Adam has also written and/or produced tracks for various other artists and producers, including Richie Zito, Randy Emata Adam Rader, The Sugi Tap, Esysa Kaye,Wendy Williams, Evan Taubenfield, he also did film scoring work for Visa Master Card and various Indie Films.Raining Satellites will undoubtedly make waves in the Southern California Music scene Music lovers should expect great things from this fresh new artist in the not-so-distant-future.
