IDENTIFICATION AND BIO:
New Age Composer/Keyboardist
In the early 1980s, Adam Geiger, then an executive with NCR, attended a conference in San Francisco and met the composer and musicologist Paul Attinello. With encouragement from him and other friends, Geiger resigned his job and set up a home studio in San Diego with several pianos and keyboards. From 1982 to 1989, working on his own and with Lura Jane Geiger, he produced and sold a series of cassette tapes of New Age music on the LuraMedia recording label.
"Adam enjoyed his creative life immensely, and was always happy that he had launched his own music business…Adam’s later life, and death, seemed remarkably peaceful and fulfilled." (Paul Attinello)
Adam Martin Geiger died of AIDS in San Diego on March 17, 1991.
