Most of the above, depending on day of the week and prevailing weather conditions. Also look at my photographs: myspace.com/adamwilsonimages. Some of my music sounds like them.
Singer, songwriter, composer, arranger. Moved to London, 1990. Co-founded artpunk psychedealers Aerial Stares, 1993 (drums & backing vocals). Co-founder of country-tinged melo-moodsters Aftershave (drums & BVs, then rhythm guitar & BVs), called it a day 1997 and 2001 respectively. Solo singing/songwriting since 1998 to this very day. Composed music for 'The Reader's Wife' - an hour-long soap-poperatic, erotic post-fairytale exploration of sex, celebrity and greed - to ex-Higson Simon Charterton's wry, incisive and irreverent lyric (see Friends below). Another one on the way.(myspace.com/thereaderswife, /misterentertainment, /zooktheband, /nitwood). 2004-6 drums with Duncan Long (Zarathustra). Debut album release 'Chaos And Grace' now available on iTunes or from the label www.zuberecords.com. Another one on the way. Also have a butcher's at my photographs: myspace.com/adamwilsonimages.
