Pennsylvania-native punk pioneer Adam Goren is one of the most unconventional musicians of his time. Armed with only his "package," the creative musician is known for his hilarious, playful synth pop punk songs and outrageous rhymes about unconventional topics. Adam Goren, as his alter ego persona Atom, writes, performs, and records all of the music himself with a QY700 Music Sequencer, an RM1X music sequencer, and a B.C. Rich guitar. The musical one-man and machine outfit Atom and His Package was created after Goren's punk band Fracture broke up in 1995.

Redefining Music appeared in spring 2001 as well. The EP Hamburgers was issued in mid-2002 before Atom returned with the full-length Attention, Blah Blah Blah early the next year.

In addition to playing and writing songs, Atom organizes the tours, manages publicity and promotions, and runs his record label, File-13 Records.
