“A very quirky and talented composer”
— "RIchard Mills (Conductor, Composer & Artistic Consultant to Orchestra Victoria)
Adam's music brings a project to life by imbuing it with drama, passion, intrigue, warmth or humour. Complementing this is his ability to read and spot a film, work to a deadline, seamlessly compose around multiple sync points, and get the best value from a music budget. His flexibility as a composer allows him to adapt well to the stylistic demands of any assignment.
