I love helping to tell stories. Those who’ve worked with me know that I love the projects almost as much as they do, and I love to get involved right from the script stages – because that’s what it’s about for me – I’m a filmmaker, even when I’m writing music. My focus is working as a collaborative partner, committed to creating an engaging, custom, high-quality score, within the framework of virtually any budget. If you are looking for a musical counterpart to your production that is consistent with your vision and tells the story, then we should talk!
Adrian is an award winning composer and multi-instrumentalist who studied in Canada and Germany. He was immersed early on in the traditions of classical and operatic music via his father, a professional French Horn player. Most recently, he composed the theme and music package for CTV/Discovery Canada’s Daily Planet, scored the popular series Out With Dad (Winner: Best Use of Music, 2010 Indie Soap Awards), and produced the sophomore album for Late July, which was called “a work of art from beginning to end” by Spill Magazine. He has produced everything from solo artists to live orchestral scores, and appears on numerous recordings and live performances as a musician,
arranger, and producer. Also busy in media and music communities, he has developed and moderated panels for the Screen Composers Guild of Canada and the Canadian Film Center, and served as a jury member for the Gemini Awards. Adrian is an associate composer at Drastic Music Inc., and co-founder of Lolzilla Sound, a full service
studio focused on providing music & sound for children’s entertainment. When not making music, you can find Adrian writing his blog “The Music Creative”, and teaching kids Karate.What I do
