Adam Greene composer
Adam Greene is a composer and writer whose creative work references interests in literature, linguistics, and cognitive science in music that explores multiplicity, fragility, and instability, often through intensive examination of instrumental practice. His work has been described as “an evanescent soundscape” (San Diego Story) with “textures and the quasi-metaphorical ideas that animate them (that) are striking and new” (The San Diego Union-Tribune).

The Nostos Cycle:
The Greek term “Nostos” refers to a hero’s epic return home by sea, epitomized most famously by Homer’s Odyssey, which is the source material for my series of compositions for electric guitar. These works have been developed with and dedicated to my dear friend Colin McAllister, who shares a deep interest in the Homeric classics.
