​

MADADKIN (Paul David Adkin) is a singer, composer, musician, novelist, writer of tales, inventor of aphorisms, philosophical blogger, director, dramaturg, video-artist and teacher. Primarily, his work explores the need for a radical progress change and it is deeply humanist. Via a jazzistic post-rock style MADADKIN raises his voice clearly about injustice and alienation; politics and religion; about our technological world and the nightmarish plutocratic system that organises and controls our lives.

​

MADADKIN sees the prime duty of his creative work to be variegated. He wants his music to amuse, to puzzle and to fascinate. He hopes his listeners will feel that they are savouring a complex imagination. His style could be labelled post-rock, or post-punk but he sees himself working in a new genre that he calls post-pandemic. 

​

MADADKIN’s compositions are fused in a a very committed and defined personal style with a strong progressive and humanistic vision.

 

But the MADADKIN project is much more than music: it is theatre and performance art.

 

MADADKIN not only writes songs, he produces video-art those videos play an important part of the performances. Paul Adkin, with singer, dancer and actress Ariadna Santana, bring their theatrical experience to the concert stage to create a grotesque, tragi-comic style that attacks the senses from every direction.

​

Ariadna has collaborated with Madadkin on several albums combining her hauntingly innocent and bright voice with the deep rasping tones of Paul Adkin to create dramatically discordant harmonies.
