Website: www.compass-series.org Ross Adams works in the field of ambisonic narratives with an extensive background in music. A consuming interest in music from around the world inspired the creation and direction of Adams' own record label, District Six. The label's trademark was the juxtaposition of traditional music with modern contemporary music. He travelled extensively in Africa living with and recording local musicians and contracting electronic artists from the UK and internationally. After receiving an MA in post production sound from The National Film and Television School, Adams set up independent creative facility, Tin Roof, specialising in location and post-production sound for the moving image, radio and new media. He is a sound recordist for BBC radio commissions, and has collaborated with established international contemporary artists (John Cale, Ori Gersht, Matthew Herbert, Plaid) as both location sound recordist and sound designer. Adams is currently International Artist in Residence for cultural events organisation Pikene Pa Broen.
