Not long ago, I found myself reminiscing the last half decade of my career. At long last, I’m finally at a place in my life where I have time to work on the really important things I’ve wanted to do for over a decade."Ī letter from Adam, from the official website: It was the first thing that made sense to me. My friends didn’t get it, it wasn’t cool to listen to orchestral music, but I didn’t care. When I first discovered film music and began to explore classical music and the universe it occupies, I was hooked. "I wanted to be a composer since I was 16 years old. Praise and glory to God for allowing me to spend my days doing what I enjoy most. "I want to create worlds and tell stories, imagine, explore and experiment. "For those wondering, Owl City is not defunct or on hiatus, merely paused for a moment to allow me to pursue a passion I've dreamed about since I was 16 years old." In this post, Adam also addressed his main project, Owl City. The first installment in a collection of 11 score albums is available now, the second will be available March 1, followed by one album per month for the remainder of 2016." "At long last, I'm able to work on a few important projects I've wanted to begin for years, one of them being a composer project inspired by my love of film music. "Starting February 1, for as long as I feel moved to do so, I will release a conceptual “film score” each month based on my interpretation of stories that mean something to me."Īdam wrote about the background of the scores on his Instagram, His words regarding this were posted on his Twitter and Facebook pages as: You can buy and stream the scores from various websites as linked below, or buy directly at Eads, an artist collaborating with Adam for the project.
