After graduating with a music degree from London University Goldsmiths' College, Adrian began a highly successful writing career that now spans more than 20 years.

Although a complete newcomer to theatre music in 2005, he scored two hit productions in succession at the National Theatre in London; Coram Boy in 2005/06, and War Horse in 2007/08. For both these shows he received Olivier nominations. Coram Boy went on to open on Broadway in 2007, and the hugely-successful War Horse will be opening on Broadway in 2011. War Horse has become the most successful show ever mounted by the National Theatre, and Adrian has adapted a War Horse Suite from the show's music to be performed by symphony orchestras including the Royal Philharmonic on June 22nd, 2010 at Cadogan Hall.

Further recent work at the National included Melly Still's productions of The Revenger's Tragedy and Nation. In the former, Adrian collaborated with electronica/house producers Different Gear and performed nightly in the show as a violinist/violist.

Away from theatre, Adrian spent many years collaborating as a composer and sound designer with Chris Morris on projects including the 2003 BAFTA-winning short film 'My Wrongs', the award-winning Blue Jam radio series, and the 'Jam' TV series.

His long list of other credits include countless advertising commissions, the scores for three feature films and a 13-part children's animation series.
