I have been a professional composer for over 25 years. In that time many people, who have known me and have recognised me as being a 'visual' composer, have suggested that I release an album which contains some of the work I have written for Film and TV. With this Album that request has been answered, with thirty minutes of TV, Film and Theatre music and the inclusion of tracks from my albums.
The composer, artist, media consultant and music producer, Adrian Wagner is the great-great grandson of the famous nineteenth-century Grail opera composer, Richard Wagner, whose popular master works include Lohengrin, Parsifal, Tannhauser and The Ring of the Nibelung. Adrian was born in Kent, England, in 1952, and educated at the Choir School, Canterbury and Kings School, Canterbury. From the age of 15, Adrian also studied art and painting at the very well equipped art school at Kings as well as setting up the new photographic society. He studied musical composition and orchestration with his father, who was Director of the R.A.F. music division, and others such as Alan Ridout, Allan Wicks and Paul Patterson at the Royal Academy of Music in London. His professional career began at the age of twenty, subsequent to which he worked with rock musicians and bands including Steamhammer, The Other Side, The Coming, Arthur Brown, Robert Calvert of Hawkwind, Alexis Korner, etc., performing at the Royal Albert Hall and other notable venues. He also worked alongside many artists, poets and actors; putting on exhibitions, festivals and theatre events involving the, so called, underground arts and cultural movement of the early '70s. This was a remarkable period for Adrian and created the seeds for the projects he is so passionately involved with today. A term he coins for this 21st Century movement is 'New Renaissance'!
