New Album Coming November 7th, 2025
"Sampled" album officially drops everywhere on November 7th. I won’t judge you if you skip the Kickstarter and wait for the stream, but you should know that I make almost nothing from streaming. You buying a CD or Vinyl or a Tshirt or a commission package (I’ll write you a song or a full on Adam Meckler Orchestra piece!!) makes a massive difference in my ability to fund future music projects (and I have lots of ideas for future projects!) - you purchasing my music in this way means I get to keep doing this forever, and for that I am grateful.
Many fans have come to my merch booth after shows and asked me if I have vinyl available, well it’s finally happening! I have an awesome album design for CD and Vinyl done by BSide Graphics, and the music is packed full of energy and love featuring artists from all over the world. Watch the album preview video at the top of the Kickstarter page and wait until the end for a full list of collaborators.
"Sampled" started with a simple thought: What if I had producers sample my Adam Meckler Orchestra recordings, and then I made new songs out of it? Over the course of the last three years I've collaborated with artists from all over the world to make Sampled a reality.
This album is unlike any record I've made. You might know me primarily as a trumpeter and composer. Those things are featured on this record, but this is the first time I've flexed my "producer" muscles in this way, putting parts together from disparate artists to make a record that sounds cohesive and hits hard. If you listen close, you may even hear me rapping a verse on one of the tracks. See if you can figure out which one!
Three years. It's hard to believe it's been that long. I used to think of an album idea, write all the music, play it live, book a recording session, do a Kickstarter, and have it all finished in half the amount of time. This was a special kind of project. Both in terms of the people involved but also in terms of the magnitude of it. A massive lift. And I'm so very proud of what we made. And glad to have you along for the ride. I hope you love it.
