Port Blue is music that can be heard playing in elevators, hotel lobbies, airports, museums and restaurants inside my head. It is the soundtrack to my dreams. If I wrote music for movies, this is what my film scores would sound like. Much of the aesthetic of Port Blue is not what lies in the recordings but rather what is extracted from them.
Dreamscapes. No vocals.
In my opinion, there is a huge lack of imaginative, unconventional music being created by artists today and what little there is, goes widely unappreciated by the masses. Port Blue is my attempt at re-creating the music I want to hear and the emotions I want to feel.
I hope you enjoy my art as much as I enjoyed creating it. If by chance you ever feel as though you've come to know these songs, please consider yourself a friend because in a manner of speaking, you know me. This music is my heart and soul. This is who I am. With that being said, I am so very glad to meet you.
Taste the sky. Dream in color.
(2008)
An optimistic, idealist album composed of 10 short vignettes or "splashes" of shimmering melody, texture and rhythm underscored with layers of field recordings. "The Albatross EP" is the perfect soundtrack to an ethereal dream, a vivid selection of atmospheric music laced with glittering electronic tones. A solid addition to the canon of ambient pop electronica.
(2007)
13 wordless tracks delicately stitched together to create a collection of songs drenched with pacific-sweet melancholy. Sentimental textures and broad strokes of imagination make The Airship a sunset of an album guaranteed to see you through the longest days of winter and into the twilight of summer.
I follow Jesus Christ wholeheartedly. He is my life, my strength, my all.

I wish I could be there at Slim's to see you perform Adam. It would be a completely different experience to listen to your music live. Congratulations on finally getting signed. Now everyone can hear your music. <3 Miss speaking to you. Hope all is Well.
Adam, If it wasnt for these dreamy, unnoticed, and lyric-less masterpieces you have made, I might find myself at a different maturity level. The soothing sounds of the oceans love put me in a mood where I discover new thoughts of life and I forgive the people that harm me. Continue the tunes, thanks.

adam! i've been patiently waiting for a new port blue album. i hope you continue writing songs. about a year ago you were planning on releasing a new album.
remember how you got excited that one day when you told me about that one song called "the lift bridge"? you wouldn't stop talking about it and you told me i'd love it. i'm excited to hear it. i'm ready!
Wow dude, I can't believe you're totally blowing up big time! That's awesome! I remember back in 2007 just randomly discovering your stuff and then you yourself turned me on to your Port Blue stuff via AIM. I will definitely be making it out for your SF show on the 9th and maybe the show @ Slim's too. Thanks for the inspiring music and hope nothing but the best for you!
