Rudy Adrian has just released a new ambient, sleep-inspired album. He first started making electronic music in the recording studios at Canterbury University while he was studying Forestry Science. Eventually abandoning Forestry Science, he tutored electronic music at the University of Otago while completing a degree in Botany.
This was followed by several years as a freelance musician and sound effects creator for television, advertisements and short films. Eventually this culminated in full-time sound design work for a television production facility and occasional freelance composition.
Rudy has gone on to create albums in his unique style of atmospheric music for private release as well as for international record labels, including Spotted Peccary. The common thread to his music is the exploration of sonic landscapes, where melody and rhythm play a secondary role to the tones and textures created by synthesizers, wood flutes and the human voice.
Always experimental and original, they are also peaceful and listenable-similar to listening to a film soundtrack without pictures. Some comparisons to the atmospheric works of Brian Eno and the soft arpeggios of Tangerine Dream and Jean-Michel Jarre of the seventies are at times apt, but the music nevertheless remains uniquely that of Rudy Adrian.
Rudy Adrian actively shares his photography of New Zealand as inspiration on Instagram.
