  • Thank you very much for your outstanding composition! You put in a lot of hard work on it and we were thrilled to hear it all. The space version is absolutely my favourite. Your prose and musical creativity were certainly in overdrive here!

    Holy f**k Adrian!
    I have tears in my eyes.
    Wonderful, wonderful work.

    I love working with Adrian… I’m definitely not sure where I would be right now without Adrian’s talent and supportiveness. He’s a mentor, a big brother and a good friend. He teaches me and makes following my passion that much more fun and exciting. I relate to him creatively and he always has wonderful ideas. He’s probably the best listener I know, not just because it’s his job as a musician and producer.

    Adrian Ellis is a true professional, and understands the needs of filmmakers. He scored our upcoming indie feature, “The Uninvited” working against a tight deadline. The music he provided… has the whimsy of Danny Elfman, and a haunting quality that echoes the sound of Ennio Morricone.

    The Uninvited

    Adrian rocks! Brought in at the 11th hour he managed to write a full score for our short film within a matter of days. He was sensitive to the film’s rhythms and enhanced the moods in all the right places. He has great intuition and needs little guidance. I thoroughly enjoyed the collaborative process with him. We will definitely work together again..

    ‘Tea with Mother’

    The presentation has received great feedback… I truly believe your music lifted the piece to an entirely new level. I know you burned more than ‘mid-night oil’ to develop this brilliant piece, given the extremely tight turn-around time we gave you – many, many thanks.

    Dust of the Earth was an extremely difficult film to not only make, but to find the right music for. After going through a series of different composers and not finding the right sound for the film, Adrian came on board. Not only did he understand precisely what I was looking for (despite my vague descriptions) but he delivered with the utmost creativity. Since the film’s completion, we’ve been the official selection of seven film festivals world-wide and won Best Documentary at the First Glance film festival. I cannot tell you how many people have commented on how perfect the music was. The film would just have not been the same without Adrian’s talent and commitment.

    After auditioning several guitarists, a friend of mine referred me to Adrian to play the role of funk guitarist, Alex Weir, in a re-enactment of the Talking Heads film, “Stop Making Sense,” and I can say that had the part before even picking up his guitar. Throughout the five-month process of preparing for the show, Adrian was always very well-prepared and professional. He needed no guidance, for he was always a few steps ahead of all of us, and got on great with all the other members. I was extremely fortunate to work with him and can’t wait to do it again.
