Music by Adam Alexander
I've played in a number of projects over the years. My role often changes: composer, singer, guitarist, bassist, piano and/or keyboardist, and so on. I keep busy. Here are all the albums that I've recorded with different bands.
The Monster Project
My most ambitious undertaking ever, The Monster Project was a septet of progressive musicians executing my arrangements of monster movie music. We got a great response performing the selctions featured on this recording, including over 45 minutes of classic Godzilla music, a medley of 80's slasher movie themes, an excerpt from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, and selections from Land of the Lost.
The Invincible Doctor Psyclops Invasion
The Invisible Album
This is the second Doctor Psyclops album, and possibly the most popular recording I've done. Though we lost none of our eccentricity, the Invasion really refined its unusual style. Much is still derived from improvisation, but there's also some exquisite and complicated compositions. At one point, I was performing with up to three keyboards, a laptop for samples, laser theremin, vocals with digital effects, hand percussion and a recorder!
The Invincible Doctor Psyclops Invasion
The Cardboard Album
From surf rock to arabic wailings to free noise and punk, the material on this disc amused and confused audiences for months. Inspired by The Invisibles comic series and Mr. Bungle, I was recruited by the Wicker Man to play keyboards, sing/scream/bellow, and wave my hand around a theremin.
I Disagree
Vices & Virtues
This 13-song double-EP is the final culmination of three years of inspiration and frustration. After so many musically experimental projects, I wanted to simply sing for a heavy but groovy band, and that's what I found in Portland. Of course my desire to do things just a little bit differently always wins out, so these tracks have a touch of the unconventional anyway.
By the way, album packaging is an origami-like affair that unfolds into a full-size poster with lyrics.

Brompton's Cocktail
Take On An Empty Mind
With a bouncy, funerary theme, this eclectic "art rock" band mixed Beatles with Black Sabbath and everything in-between to put a grin on your face and death on the brain. I sang and played guitar, as well as wrote most the majority of the music on this eclectic disc. Though tuneful, the album is so all over the place that everyone who enjoys it cites a different favorite track. Decide for yourself!
