3月Adam的纯音乐新作发布，此作正是与沉入大西洋的RMS Titanic相关，泰坦尼克号于1912年04月处女航时撞上冰山后沉没于大西洋；这次海难为当时和平时代死伤人数最多的一次，同时也是最为人知的海难事故之一。

本年度 「Adam Young Scores」最后一张纯音乐专辑《The Endurance》放出啦！
随着这张专辑欢脱的音乐风格，带我们走近历史事件“坚韧号”
1914年，英国探险家萨克顿第3次远征南极
他和八名船员乘坐一艘三桅木船「坚忍号」出发，在南极对开海面被冰块困住
十个月后船被压成碎片。1916年，全体船员才逃出生天。

Voyager 1 is a space probe launched by NASA in 1977 as part of the Voyager program to study the outer Solar System. Having operated for the past 39 years, the spacecraft still communicates and returns data to us, and as of 2016, it is the farthest manmade object from Earth. When I picture Voyager 1 out there beyond our solar system, I can’t help but imagine the things it has seen on its journey. It’s flown by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and beyond. In 1990, it looked back and took an image known as the “Pale Blue Dot” which shows Earth 6 billion kilometers away, a tiny white speck suspended in the darkness of deep space. It was this breathtaking image that inspired me to create this score because it reminds me that life, as far as we know, is unique to our planet, and very fragile indeed.

Long have I been fascinated by the American Civil War and the men who fought in it. I love imagining the era, the clothing, the technology and the old-fashioned blood, sweat and tears of days gone by. One of my favorite stories is of Union General William Tecumseh Sherman and his famous march to the sea. Sherman received recognition for his outstanding command of military strategy as well as criticism for the harshness of his scorched earth policy in conducting total war against the Confederate States. 62,000 men marched toward Savannah, Georgia, living off the land and destroying everything in their path. A corduroy road is a type of road made by placing sand-covered logs perpendicular to the direction of the road resulting in an improvement over impassable terrain. These makeshift roads were used extensively in Sherman’s campaign. Not long after Sherman captured Columbia, South Carolina, Lee surrendered and the war was over. Thus, this is my musical interpretation of the final march of the Civil War.

专辑主题取材自1959年和1960年的一次极限探索，一次拿下世界纪录穿越大气层的跳伞挑战，而该挑战也是拿下了当年的最佳纪录。
Project Excelsior was a series of parachute jumps made by Colonel (then Captain) Joseph Kittinger of the United States Air Force in 1959 and 1960 from helium balloons in the stratosphere. The purpose was to test the Beaupre multi-stage parachute system intended to be used by pilots ejecting from high altitude. In one of these jumps Kittinger set world records for the highest parachute jump, the longest parachute drogue fall and the fastest speed by a human through the atmosphere. The record for fastest speed by a human through the atmosphere is now held by Felix Baumgartner of the Red Bull Stratosproject.

In 1944, after years of planning, the Allies launched an invasion upon Nazi Germany and converged on the coast of France, beginning the reclamation of occupied Europe. In anticipation, Hitler fortified German defenses in hopes of countering the Allies and driving them back into the sea. What the Allies didn't know as they stepped onto the shores of Europe was that Hitler was waiting for them. The ensuing battle was gruesome. At a place codenamed Omaha Beach, hundreds of Americans fought and died for the freedom of others, and it is the memory of these men I want to honor with this album. This is my interpretation of what occurred that fateful day in 1944 on Omaha Beach.

Adam Young既《泰坦尼克》之后又推新作，这次专辑以《林白征空记》为故事背景，《林白征空记》讲述的故事是这样的：那天是一九二七年五月二十日，刚满二十五岁的查尔斯·林白，他发动了自己费尽心思才搞到手的单人驾驶的飞机，开始向大西洋上空飞行。飞越大西洋一直是查尔斯·林白内心深藏了很久的一个梦想。在这次的飞行过程中，他历尽了千辛万苦，甚至因为天气的突然变化被迫采用超低空飞行，他险些失去生命。然而，他最终战胜了各种困难，在经过三个半小时的艰难卓绝的飞行之后，他成功地飞越了大西洋，完成了具有历史意义的伟大壮举，在个人航空史上添上了光彩的一笔。

Adam的2016年计划Adam Young Scores, 每个月Adam会以不同主题创作一部原声带作品，并以Adam Young的艺名发布。
第一部原声带专辑将在2月1日发行。
这张原声带有12首歌，是一张管弦乐专辑，主题是1969年7月24日的阿波罗11号登月
" 有一个我最希望能亲身经历的历史时刻，那就是发生在1969年7月16日到24日之间的那件事。人类登陆月球，返回地球，改变了历史。在我记忆能够抵达的地方，我记得我曾经惊叹过阿波罗11号人物，后来随着我长大，这件事瑜伽激励着我。活在人类的历史里，没有任何一次科技的突破，能代表阿波罗11号所象征的人类的想象、人的精神和人文奇迹，也正是这些情感，我想跟随着我内心的感受，用隐喻将他们捕获。这样，就是我对1969年7月的演绎“ Adam Young
