New Release
I met MUFRIKA - a kalimba maker in Tanzania on social media and asked if we could collaborate on HAPPY MAN. A charming, simple gem that I think might be helpful in these difficult political times.
We do need to participate in facing some quite difficult insanity AND do our part. BUT, in doing so, it takes a toll. I hope this wonderful and sweet song and video will be as helpful to you as it was to me.
Welcome to the music of PAUL ADAMS / PAUL ADAMS & ELIZABETH GEYER / PD ADAMS
"With over 140 million streams on Pandora, Adams is proving to be a substantial artist". SOUND MIND
Welcome. I compose music in three general areas and have organized the genres to:
1. MUSIC for my varied eclectic work (Acoustic, electronic, world etc) "Adams may be the most important new age personality since George Winston!" San Jose,Ca METRO
2. MEDITATIVE MUSIC for the gentle, spacial ambient work. “His flute playing is like taking a slow luxurious trip down a river...” MASSAGE THERAPY JOURNAL
3. PD ADAMS for my singer/songwriter stuff. It took me years to face my shyness about the lyric stuff. Funny, I now feel it's my strongest work. The album is called THIS CURIOUS WONDER and is a somewhat acoustic existential outing with poetry and photo's.
“PD Adams new album This Curious Wonder is newly released and wholly beautiful ! Channeling a stillness that honors true teachers like Thich Nhat Hanh, this is a deeply lovable album." Elice Cady AMERICANAHIGHWAYS, Nashville
4. LUTHERIE: Oh, I was also an instrument maker for many years. Daryl Hall, members of Stevie Wonder and others have been my clients. Although I no longer take commissions there is a page showing some of the instruments here.
5. POETRY: Some of my work seen here
I dabble in writing, poetry, photography, mental health issues and have built musical instruments for such people as Daryl Hall, members of Stevie Wonders band and others. I enjoy working on various activities within the human condition (Listed under "Arty Stuff"). It's a big mystery down here isn't it? I hope you have fun wondering the site. Listen to music, read and interact if you wish. Have fun.
My most recent collaborations have been with the talented Australian musician Elizabeth Geyer (See SANCTUARY below). She is an enormous talent!! Bruce Lundvall at Blue Note Records called her a "musical genius." Check her out. I also have THE NEURONS, a sideline group with my friend David Hoffman who spent many years playing and arranging for Ray Charles. He has his own music as well - check him out. I feel very lucky. Because of Satellite Radio like Sirius, Echo's, Music Choice and Pandora, as well as the wonderful Terrestrial and Public stations around the world, I connect with YOU and make a living. How beautiful is that?
