episode 013//Adam Dorn
Today, my guest is Adam Dorn. Adam is a composer, songwriter, producer, bass player and DJ. You can hear some of his scoring work on the Showtime docuseries “Enemies”, Season 3 of the podcast “serial”, the HBO documentary about Robin Williams called “Robin Williams: Come Inside my Mind”, and he also scored the Richard Pryor documentary “Omit The Logic”. Beyond his career as a composer, Adam’s a successful jazz oriented dance music producer and DJ. He calls himself Mocean Worker and a lot of that stuff can be heard on his solo records, and film and TV shows including “The Devil Wears Prada”, “The Bourne Supremacy” , “CSI” and more.
If that wasn’t enough, Adams also a kick-ass bass player. He’ll probably deny that. But it’s true. And I’d know about shit like this.
He’s also the son of the renowned jazz and R&B producer Joel Dorn.
Adam grew up around a lot of legendary musicians and studied with Marcus Miller and also got the occasional bit of musical wisdom from people like Miles Davis, David Sanborn, and Luther Vandross. We talked about all kinds of stuff pertaining to living through this pandemic, remembering the great Hal Wilner, LA stuff, and much more.
