PORT BLUE..
Back in 2007 American composer, song writer and producer Adam Young (Owl City) created a musical project called
\'Port Blue\'.
Via this alis he has so far released some of the most beautiful work in his short musical career.
\'Port Blue\' is a project created for his most heartfelt instrumental ambient melody driven // atmosphereic productions....and it deserves a much broader audience!
As Adam Young states:
"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?"
(Adam Young)
