Podcast appearances and mentions of adam dorn

On this week's episode of AHWM we're hanging with musician, producer, composer @moceanworker. I first learned about Adam at the beginning of the pandemic when he and Charlie Hunter did a podcast called “Compared to What”. Upon further investigation I found out how deep his roots ran in jazz, funk and R&B not only as a talented bassist but as a producer and beyond! We're gonna chat about that, his work as a composer for film and TV and his favorite funk records of all time; you don't wanna miss it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Adam Dorn, better known as Mocean Worker, lays down a thick bass line on his tenth LP, BOOMBOX, which he calls  “a love letter to the bass.”  Though his career began with the instrument, Dorn shied away from showcasing his virtuosic bass chops on his first eight albums, instead focusing on hyper-detailed mini-sampling, digital production, and synthesizers. That's no longer the case on BOOMBOX, where Mocean Worker balls out on “Shammy Davis Jr's.”

This Breakdown, which is also available on my YouTube channel, is a companion piece to Episode 13 with Adam Dorn. "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" was not a hit when it was released in 1969. Producer Joel Dorn warned Roberta Flack that her slow as molasses version might not go over well with the masses. And he was right -- until burgeoning director, Clint Eastwood plucked the song -- and it's singer -- from obscurity.

Adam Dorn (Mocean Worker) got a front row seat to many of Roberta Flack's career-defining moments. As the son of Joel Dorn, producer of Roberta's first 5 albums, he had a unique vantage point into the behind-the-scenes of both her early career with his dad, and her mid-80's resurgence with his friend, producer Marcus Miller. He joined many of those later recording sessions as a "fly on the wall" production assistant. Adam is the first (but certainly not the last) special guest on the podcast!

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 2 of Song Chronicles. Our guest today is Michelle Lewis, an Emmy- and Peabody-winning songwriter and composer and an advocate of songwriters' rights as executive director of SONA. Michelle's parents were both musicians. Her dad was the tenor saxophone player in Frank Sinatra's band and her mom was a session singer who sang with the likes of Benny Goodman. Michelle talks about what it was like to tag along with her parents in the early seventies scene of working musicians in New York as "the little mascot of the cats." Michelle recording jingles as a kid After college, Michelle had a deal with Irving Azoff's Giant Records as a recording artist. Later her songs were recorded by other artists, including Cher, Amy Grant, Kelly Osbourne, and Lindsay Lohan. We talk about the invisibility of songwriters and the skill involved into distilling your life experience into words that can be sung by someone else, like a screenwriter writing for actors. More recently, Michelle has been a composer for children's television, including Doc McStuffins, for which she won a Peabody Award. She shares how writing for television lets her express a different range of creativity because it's not bound by genre. Michelle with her Peabody Award In 2015, Michelle had a cut on an album that sold millions of copies and yet she was paid a fraction of what her 2005 hit was worth. Learning how much streaming technology had devalued the work of songwriters, she got together with songwriters Shelly Peiken, Pam Sheyne, Kay Hanley, Adam Dorn, Jack Kugell, and attorney Dina LaPolt to form SONA, Songwriters of North America. SONA pushes for changes to legislation like the Music Modernization Act which updated how songwriters are paid mechanicals to reflect the streaming music landscape. Michelle breaks down the different sources of revenue for songwriters including mechanicals, performance royalties, publishing, and syncs. SONA meeting with Senator Edward Markey Michelle is a mentor with WriteGirl, an organization that provides free mentoring to girls interested in songwriting and other types of writing including poetry, fiction, journalism, and screenwriting. We talk about the experience of helping girls write their first songs and how their lives are changed after seeing their songs performed. Michelle shares a story about watching future National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman develop her voice in WriteGirl workshops. WriteGirl songwriting workshop   Enjoy this conversation about the importance of the jobs of songwriters, who provide the soundtrack to our lives.

It's a day I devote to music lessons, reading, movies, and other mediums of value. In addition to sharing my Reads, Listens, and Views (a feature I'm bringing back to the site this year), I'm also collecting true stories from friends and colleagues. If you're interested in being a part of this, feel free to email me at mattwaldmanrsp@gmail.com and we'll consider recording it. Adam Dorn's hiliarious bet with KISS bassist Gene Simmons is a great tale for your drive home. RSP Storytime follows it up wtih one of my own stories: Stowing away on a commercial airline flight. A John Hughes 80's movie come to life. https://youtu.be/LOMO_eSGcU4 Enjoy.

Friday is my one day off from football. It's a day I devote to music lessons, reading, movies, and other mediums of value. In addition to sharing my Reads, Listens, and Views (a feature I'm bringing back to the site this year), I'm also collecting true stories from friends and colleagues. If you're interested in being a part of this, feel free to email me at mattwaldmanrsp@gmail.com and we'll consider recording it. RSP Storytime kicks off with one of my favorite stories that I heard last year. It comes from composer, Adam Dorn. You've probably heard Adam's work as the composer for documentaries such as Richard Pryor: Omit the Logic,  Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind, and Enemies: The President, Justice & The FBI. He's also written and performed music for Six Feet Under, The Bourne Supremacy, The Devil Wears Prada, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The son of renowned jazz and R&B producer Joel Dorn, Adam is a lifelong Eagles fan who reached out to me last year after hearing about my penchant for drawing parallels to football and improvisational music and deciding we were going to become great friends. Adam and I share a love for Funk, R&B, and Jazz. Adam's longtime friendship with Marcus Miller began as a student-mentor relationship. If you don't know Marcus Miller, he's a renowned performer and producer who is also one of the kings of the electric bass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpSlxS5Xkso I share these things about Adam because I want to set the stage for the story. Imagine Adam as a 17-year-old bassist with a full-blown Philly wise-ass mentality in the late 1980s learning his craft from Miller when he runs into KISS bassist, Gene Simmons while working as a grunt in a recording studio. Now imagine Simmons dismissing Adam's musical hero and their conversation degenerating into a bet that takes them into the streets of New York and leads to the ultimate comeuppance. Enjoy.

Episode 4 of the #IRespectMusic Podcast. SONA vs. The DOJ Featuring guest Adam Dorn. Special thanks to Cornelius Gould. The show theme "Noahs Stark" written & performed by Andre William Owen www.krackatoa.com Podcast website: www.IRespectMusicPodcast.com (c)2017 Karoline Kramer Gould

The multifaceted artist talks about tickle monsters, songs of Joy, third story theory and Wisconsinites in Spain.

Mocean Worker combines his knowledge of real instruments with cutting edge technology to produce music that is catchy, groovy and points the way to the masters and legends that came before. He’s a bassist, he’s a producer, and as the son of producer Joel Dorn, he had first hand encounters with music legends such as Marcus […]

Adam Dorn, musician, producer and composer, got his start early. Encouraged by his father, legendary record producer Joel Dorn, Adam left his home in Philadelphia when he was still in high school to pursue a life in music. Over the years, he has worked as a session musician on countless records, and as a producer for other artists. His solo project, “Mocean Worker” came about almost by accident, the results of a series of half-serious recording sessions. Since the release of his first album, Home Movies from the Brain Forest, the style has varied from a drum 'n' bass sound to a jazz-oriented dance sound that some call Electro-Swing, incorporating elements of funk, big-band and swing.Earlier this year, along with his partner Charlie Hunter, Dorn launched his own podcast called “Compared to What”, which features long form casual conversations with musicians and creative friends. Sound familiar?I suspected we would have a lot in common, and I was eager to sit down with Adam to talk. We agreed to use the conversation as an episode for both podcasts, so in fact the Third Story is a guest on Compared to What, and vice versa. These are exciting times!This was a truly free flowing conversation - at times it behaved like an interview, and at other times more like a chat over coffee…Strong coffee. We covered a lot of ground, including our personal experiences growing up in the shadow of music business fathers, learning how to play and produce, electronic music, music education, and generally “going after” what you love.  It’s an honor and a pleasure to share this episode. http://comparedtowhatpodcast.comStream it here or download it from the iTunes music store.
