NYC based music producer and performer Adam Maalouf makes music that serves as a meeting point for human cultures from around the world. His compositional style is weaved by meditative melodies and rhythmic undercurrents bridging the gap between world music and electronic music. His unique musical character stems from Maalouf's experiences as a  Lebanese-American and a fascination with artists from styles ranging from rock, electronic, classical and global traditional music from South America, the Middle East and India. Adam is currently performing music from his electronic album, "Path of Time" as well as his global acoustic project “East River” and his Pantam Duo project “Sunsetter”. 


Maalouf’s use of the Pantam (the flying saucer instrument invented in 2000, otherwise known as the Hang) is the centerpiece of his performance and compositional style, yet the music foundation is built on an array of colors from supporting instruments including cello, electric guitar, marimba, piano, and an array of percussion from around the world.  The music is found where the modern meets the ancient, and styles of music from around the globe are brought together using acoustic and electronic instruments, sampled sounds from nature and our surroundings, pulsating drums and hand percussion, and waves of synthesizers.
Adam has shared his music in venues across the world including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, MoMA, St. Basil's Cathedral, Tanglewood, The BANFF Center and Austin City Limits, Gospel, National Sawdust, Pioneer Works, The Stone, Asheville Percussion Festival, Gratitude Migration Festival, Griasdi Festival, Elements Music Festival. As a collaborator, Adam has performed with ensembles such as The Brooklyn Raga Massive, Pink Martini, Ensemble Signal, The Atlanta Symphony, The National Arabic Orchestra, The Gil Evan's Centennial Project, and with artists such as Steve Reich, K’naan, Kygo, Drukmo Gyal Dakini, Lizz Wright, Eugene Frisen, Jamey Haddad, Farah Siraj, Morley and many others. Adam performs regularly as a solo artist and with his world music collaboration "East River".
