The document has moved here.Adam Goren (born January 14, 1975) is a musician, better known as the sole member of the synth punk band Atom and His Package.Adam Goren
Goren was born in the Bronx on January 14, 1975, but grew up in the town of Oreland, Pennsylvania.He played in several local bands as a youth.While Goren was still in school, a friend introduced him to music sequencers, and he began writing music with one in his spare time.When Goren left Wesleyan, some of his friends were in a band called Franklin, and they were planning to go on tour throughout the East Coast.This marked the rise of Goren's identity as Atom and His Package, consisting of himself, a B.Rich guitar, and his QY700 music sequencer (not the QY70 as some have reported), also known as "the Package."In 1997 he released his first album, the aptly named The First CD, on Bloodlink Records.He released several more albums and EPs, and has performed on several compilations.At one point, Goren gathered a small band to do actual punk covers of his songs, and he released an EP of a live performance with this band, calling it "Atom and His Rockage."He completed tours in several countries, including the United States, Canada, Japan, Belgium, England, and Australia.In April 2003, Goren found out that his wife was expecting a child.At about the same time, he also was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.These led him to the decision to finally stop touring as Atom and His Package.Goren currently plays with the band Armalite.Many songs of Atom and His Package sample or borrow lyrics from various pop singles of the 80's and early 90's, including artists such as Eddie Money and Joni Mitchell.Goren has released numerous covers as well.Atom and His Package discography
