A Delicate Motor [ADM] is the sound composition project of Adam Petersen, a Cincinnati native. Adam, a classically-trained pianist and percussionist, composes by way of energetic improvisation, expressive vocalization, and meditation on the repetition of loops.
While studying piano performance at CCM, Adam was tending a social culture with many other creative conspirators in their residence at The Marburg Hotel. The Hotel came to be simultaneously a living place, recording studio, and concert venue - a quasi-public, creative safe space for the engaging community. Their collective creative yearning yielded many months of live arts events, phenomenal expressions, social interactivity and individual growth. Since the cultivation of this place-based community, there endures a momentum by which A Delicate Motor streams.
Originally a solo, loop-based songwriting effort, ADM has expanded to incorporate drummer / producer Ben Sloan [WHY? / Lazy Heart / Naytronix], and guitarist / bassist Stephen Patota [The Happy Maladies / Lazy Heart / Naytronix]. The trio recorded an album with Henry Wilson [Pop Empire] in the Summer of 2016, and have since developed the ensemble to include vocalist Libby Landis, vocalist / guitarist Brianna Kelly [Soften] and vocalist / pianist Rachel Mousie.
Fellover My Own is a collection of notes to self, to the listener. It is an invitation to fall in love with who you are becoming. This music arises from a quietude, within which, by way of gently cupped ears, we begin to hear messages designed to calibrate the listener towards truth.
'...Ambient, psychedelic and strangely melodic. A slanted, otherworldly interpretation of Pop that is often mesmerizing.' - Mike Breen, CityBeat
