Tom Adams

Tom Adams is a British composer, producer, songwriter and electronic musician from Cambridge, UK. A love of nature is an ever present voice in his work, lending a widescreen quality to his music, from intimate piano moments to mountainous waves of sound. He started playing the piano at a young age, and soon discovered that improvising and creating new music came a lot more naturally than reading dots on a page. This discovery blossomed when he bought his first guitar as a teenager and Adams soon started to write his own songs, his haunting voice has drawn comparisons to singers like Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley. Going on to study music at the University of York, he had the opportunity to work with both classical and electronic music, the combination of which has become the defining aspect of his sound. Combining his natural ability to improvise with his classical training and electronic music knowledge Adams is able to move seamlessly between styles whilst always maintaining a strong overall aesthetic. The result is a breathtaking and beautiful musical experience that is a perfect soundtrack to mountains and wild beaches. Adams remixed Max Richter’s ‘Berlin By Overnight’, released by Deutsche Grammophon, and also composed the OST for the Universal Pictures feature film ‘The Knife That Killed Me’. His self-released EP ‘In The Constant Noise’ is out. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
