Writer · Musician

My name's Adam Lunara. Welcome to my personal web page! I've written music, books, and essays.

My songs and my writings are intertwined - different expressions of roughly the same boneheaded observations.

About

A brief introduction

I may not be much, but that won't stop me from writing or screaming about things no one asked for.

I’m a writer and musician who's written a novel, recorded an album, and published various smaller essays. My music is a combination of progressive rock/metal, punk, and grunge, informed by the rhythm and bass-heaviness of funk, disco, and EDM.

Over the last several years, I’ve published essays in Substack and Medium, released Cold Clarity - a psychological thriller with aspects of survival horror and science fiction, and published in scientific journals.

I’m currently focused on writing a sci-fi series titled Autumn Storm, and always open to thoughtful collaborations with people who care about complexity, atmosphere, and detail.
