Adam James Wilson
Welcome to my homepage. I'm a composer and improvisor, and I lead something of a dual musical
life. Some of my music is highly formalized — algorithmically composed — and some is the product of collaborative
free improvisation. My hope is to develop a way of working that combines these approaches to making
music without diluting or compromising the features that accord each its own power.
