About Me

He also holds a Bachelor of Music in music technology and a Master of Music in composition from Georgia State University. Adam's music has been performed in the US, Europe, and Canada by such artists as the New York New Music Ensemble, the neoPhonia New Music Ensemble, and Tadej Kenig. Festival appearances include June in Buffalo, the Florida Electroacoustic Music Festival, the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, Harvest Moon V, and Electronic Music Midwest.
"I compose acoustic and electronic music. These works could be termed “neo-impressionist” as I strive to present musical impressions of real and imaginary environments. I am also fascinated by temporal structures; I experiment with forms which are novel but hopefully perceivable by the listener. My ultimate goal is to create works with intriguing sonic surfaces and strong, meaningful structures."
