Art Appreciation - Music Composer - Adam Gill

1st Met with Adam, was attending the CNY Dinner: Peking Duck & Dumplings some time close to Chinese New Year 2010.
He is an Artist, a Music Composer as well as an Engineer. 


His House
His house is an Art. 
I did post the photos of his house a while ago, he built his house by his own, a very MAN style.

His Background
Adam is born in the Westcountry of England, 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.


His Music
Here is one of his Music that I like the most - Vista



He 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 Traditional 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.

Here is another one, melody more relaxing - People....

More of his Music, check his website here


His Religion
We are both Buddhists but he believes the Buddhism in Nepal and I believe the Tummy Buddha where I put the Buddha House at my house.
Buddhism in Nepal dates from the birth of Siddhartha Gautama himself. Nepal is the meeting point for Indian and Tibetan Buddhist teachers. The country became a repository of Buddhist Sanskrit literature and famous for its production of fine Buddhist art.
