Born in 1961 in the Westcountry of England, Adam Gill started to compose music from the
age of 14 mostly through improvisation and experimentation at the piano and then scribbleing
down the ideas and concepts that sounded interesting on manuscript paper.
Coming from quite a rich musical environment, concepts and ideas were always around in
the background and which were templates and foundations to put improvisation and structure
together.
The artist has also studied theory of music, classical flute, and piano which has given him
a sound grounding in the formation of chord structures and chord progressions and well
as free flowing melodies over the base sructure. His composition skills are largely self
taught combining his improvisations with traditioinal harmony.
Current musical influences include contemporary classical,jazz,latin,ethnic,new age,
and improvisation. When listening to the artist's music, one can't help feeling he is up to some
extent trying to escape from traditional constraints of music theory, and this combined with
18 years in Hong Kong & Asia certainly makes his music an interesting cultural mix of
themes and ideas.
The 40 or so compositons you see on this web site are only a very small example of what
the artist has composed. There are pages of ideas & concepts just waiting to be manifested into
something more concrete!
With the advent of higher bandwidth over the internet, more of the artist's compositons are
being upgraded with video, and completley new compositions composed around this medium.
