Separation played on KPFA's Hear and Now hosted by Derk Richardson.

Reel of Fortune to be featured on episode #75 of Keller's Cellar (see October 2005 below for more info about this syndicated radio show).

October 2005 A song from Adrian's demo CD (an all-violin version of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean) will be played on episode #69 of the widely syndicated radio show Keller's Cellar, hosted by Keller Williams. Keller has always been an inspiration to Adrian. He was the first musician he ever saw play multiple instruments and sing and beatbox through live samplers to create one-man jams in a live setting. Seeing him do it (five years ago) made Adrian want to do it too. Keller is now an international touring act with a bunch of CDs under his belt.
