The Dead Texan

Ambient Music Project by Adam Wiltzie

The Dead Texan is an audio-visual project by Adam Wiltzie, who is better known as one half of the ambient music duo Stars of the Lid. The Dead Texan's self-titled album, released in 2004, combines ambient music with minimalism and incorporates visual elements created by video artist Christina Vantzou. The project is characterized by its lush soundscapes and ethereal textures, which are hallmarks of Wiltzie's work. While The Dead Texan has not been as prolific as Stars of the Lid, the project's work has been well-received within the ambient music community for its emotive and cinematic qualities. Wiltzie's contributions to the genre through his various projects have made him a respected figure in contemporary ambient music.
