schemada

A man sits on a beach near a river with mountains in the background. He is wearing a cap and sunglasses, with music equipment and a backpack nearby.

Kansas City based guitarist, and multi-instrumental producer, Adam Schlozman is the musical mind behind his solo artist project "schemada". Chasm Spasm pt. 1 and Chasm Spasm pt. 2 are the first two iterations of his debut full-length solo album incorporating a colorful palette of jazz improvisation and sonically vintage yet contextually reimagined electronic beat music.

Musician, Artist, Educator

Born and based out of Kansas City, Missouri — the guitar has been my primary instrument most of my life. Through a wide variety projects and collaborations, I have been extensively performing, as well as recording in sessions for albums and music for films as a sideman or producer, while maintaining a private teaching practice as well as a position at the University of Missouri Kansas City Conservatory of Music in the jazz studies program. A major aspect of my artistic output is my self-produced project as “schemada” -- the music I release as a solo artist is heavily influenced and adapted in the electronic/modern direction with my roots and formal training and study in traditional forms of music. Live performances, remote or in-person recording sessions, remote or in-person lessons are all services I offer.
