Adam Kontras.com - Music



Although 4tvs detoured Adam's recording career, it couldn't however stop the songwriter within. Through The Journey, Adam has found a way to deal with all that LA can throw at him with a few verses and chords and the result is oftentimes more effective than his previous fully produced efforts. As you'll notice the vast majority of these songs are under 2 minutes and are intended to get across a melody or hook as well as describe that moment in the journey....

"To be able to put a moment in time into words or music is always tricky, but with The Journey there's the added discipline of a deadline. If a big moment moves me to write a song, it's usually an "entry worthy" moment, so I'm holding up the entire entry until I tape it. It's a unique, self-imposed discipline that really forces you to write that moment, as it's happening. "I Followed You" is a great example of that."
