notes

Since a chance conversation in a dining hall at university, New Zealander Rudy Adrian has been making electronic music. The person he happened to speaking with was able to provide him access to the university's music studio, and to the detriment of his studies in Botany and Forestry Science, Rudy became proficient enough to be employed as a tutor of Electronic Music. After graduation, Rudy worked free-lance for several years, composing and sound designing for film and television before being employed full-time in 1995 as an in-house sound engineer at a television production facility - a position he has held ever since.

Drawing from the music of Michael Stearns, David Parsons and Brian Eno, Rudy has created several albums of atmospheric music for various international record labels. Using equipment dating back to the late 1980s, he concentrates of creating layer upon layer of subtle sounds which gently evolve through his pieces of atmospheric music. "For me the Yamaha SY77 synthesizer of 1990 is my main keyboard and is like a Stradivarius - it was made some time ago, and has taken me over a decade to master and still continues to suprise me on occasion".

Rudy also creates electronic music with a more sequencer-orientated feel (sometimes called "Berlin School"), five of these albums have been released in recent years on the Dutch label Groove, for whom Rudy continues to record in this more dramatic style.

Perfect Ambient Journey
author: Sergey Lenkov
Rudy Adrian - among the most interesting modern electronic music musicians and "Moon Water" among his most interesting and successful works. It is dreamy ambient atmospheric music with a little bit melancholic "twilight" feeling. Melancholic, but not depressive!!!! The album (63:26) invites you to relaxing journey among hazy visual 3D landscapes of Rudy's dreams. Just flow with the music... Recommended if you like ambient music by Michael Stearns or Brian Eno.
