Rudy Adrian

Rudy Adrian (né Hueting; born 1965) is a New Zealand ambient musician from Dunedin.

Music

Rudy worked as a freelance musician and sound effects creator for television programs, advertisements, and short films.

Working in styles ranging from beatless atmospheric music to heavily sequenced electronica, Adrian released several albums and produced soundtracks for television in his profession as a sound engineer for Taylormade Media. He is one of the hosts of a radio programme specialising in ambient music on the Dunedin campus radio station, Radio One.

Adrian's early albums form two distinct series: "Atmospheric Works" and "Sequencer Sketches". His first mini-album, SubAntarctica (initially released under his birth name of Rudy Hueting) was as part of a multi-media collaboration on art in the subantarctic. He and several other artists travelling to the Campbell and Auckland Islands produced music based on the experience. His albums have included collaborations with Nick Prosser, a flautist from New Zealand and Dutch keyboardist Ron Boots. Adrian has toured New Zealand and the United States, presenting works in a variety of venues ranging from concert halls to planetaria.
