Dave Adams is a self taught composer of New Age music. Some of his music can also be considered Film music. Dave is a forty seven year old father of four and grandfather of five. All through high school he played an instrument. He wanted to play his own music in high school as a trumpeter in band ,and realized he couldn't. He moved on to guitar and then bass guitar. Dave took a leave from the music shortly after high school and went into the Air Force. Still having the urge to create his own music frustrated him greatly. However, in May of 1992 he was witness to something that would change his life. He went to a Yanni concert. After seeing what one could do with a keyboard,his inspiration came back. Since then he has had a few small keyboards and another bass guitar. He now owns a Yamaha S90 Synthesizer and spends hours creating music from the inspiration of his friends and family. Dave is a lover of piano and strings and creates alot of his music using these instruments. People have said that your passion is whatever it is that you think about when you wake up and when you go to sleep. For Dave, music is what he hears day and night. He has always said," If I can make someones day a little brighter, then it's all worth it".
Now, in an attempt to get his music out to the world, he has his music available on numerous web sites. He started out on MP3.com and that lasted for about 2 years. After MP3.com went under, he ventured on to Soundclick.com and has found the response to his music very promising,accruing over 28,000 plays since February of 2004. He has had contact with Statue Records and Yeahmedia.com. He has recieved air time on Live365.com Internet Radio"LADY PANTHERESS RADIO",SPIRIT WITHIN RADIO(Live365),MELODIOUS SYNTH Radio(Live365),SURREAL RADIO(Ampcast),OLD TIME RADIO(Ampcast), and CHAOTIC EMISSIONS(Ampcast). Dave also has his music on AMPCAST.COM,SOUNDCLICK.COM,DOWNLOAD.COM,ISOUND.COM,GARAGEBAND.COM,TUNEVAULT.COM and is in the process of having some of his music reviewed at RADIOINDY.COM. One of Daves' songs,"Tinas Price",was used in a Video Presentation Competition hosted by the Ministry of Education,Singapore and Ngee Ann Polytechnic.
Dave also loves to sing and hopes to put some vocal work on his third cd,"Walking Alone Together", still in the making. The first cd,"Chemical Reaction" was available on MP3.com but the response wasn't that great. The second cd,"Love Is Forever...Life Is Not", has been available on Ampcast.com since the end of December 2004.
Trying to keep his mind and experiences open,back in the year 2000, Dave and his brothers Denny and Mike ventured into a project called "OVERLAND EXPRESS". From September of 2000 through August of 2001 the three of them jammed every Sunday for five hours. Denny was somewhat of the ringleader on this project. Dennys' style of music is a bit different from Daves,but we all worked together very well. Denny would come up with a chord arrangement and Dave would add the strings,horns or bass,and Mike would bless us with his awesome lead guitar. During that year they had fine tuned and orchestrated a very well put together list of about 15 original instrumental songs that were flawless. Near the end of their Sunday jam sessions they realized that they didn't have the capability to get a quality recording of the music ,nor did they have the equipment to jump into the home studio end of things. "OVERLAND EXPRESS" came to an end for the time being. Now,five years later, they are starting to bring back some of their work. Denny has continued to compose with his chord arrangements and rhythms. Dave also continues to lend his arranging abilities to the
compositions. Mike has taken some time off for his daughter and his wife, but soon will be back in the "Studio" with us. Denny already has "OVERLAND EXPRESS" on Soundclick.com and they hope to increase their song list in the coming months. A very sincere "Thanks" from Dave to both Denny and Mike for their support and hard work.
Daves' goals for the coming year are to make peoples lives a little brighter with his music and also to have his music used in television and film projects. Feel free to keep checking back through Dave's list of sites for further updates.
