who am I?
I’m Adam Scott Neal, a composer and media artist exploring how we connect with the instruments and technologies that shape our musical lives. My work bridges classical and electronic music, combining acoustic instruments with the unexpected voices of everyday objects — toys, circuits, and found materials — to create sound worlds that are both curious and human.
I’ve written more than 80 pieces for soloists, chamber ensembles, and multimedia collaborations, that have been performed around the globe. My projects often cross into sound art, lo-fi music, and video, tracing how sound, culture, and curiosity intertwine.
I love to collaborate with performers, choreographers, filmmakers, and researchers who share a spirit of experimentation. If you’re looking to explore new sonic possibilities or bring a distinctive voice to your next performance, let’s connect.

These playlists gather recordings of my music across different projects—chamber pieces, electronic tracks, film cues, and the occasional experiment that didn’t fit anywhere else. They’re an easy way to explore the catalog without digging through every page. I update them as new performances and releases show up, so things shift over time.
