Adrian Knight (born 1987 in Uppsala, Sweden) is a composer[1] living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Between 2006 and 2009 he studied with Pär Lindgren and Jesper Nordin at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, and between 2009 and 2011 with David Lang, Martin Bresnick and Ezra Laderman at the Yale School of Music[2] in New Haven.
While not adhering to any definitive school of thought other than the experimental, his music is almost without exception slow and quiet, sometimes with gradual processes, sometimes entirely static. It combines elements of noise, simple waveforms and field recordings with slowly rising and falling layers of pitches in a number of works for acoustic instruments and electronics, notably Manchester for large orchestra with electronics (2008), Vain Attempts for piano and fixed electronics (2007–2008) and Daedaldualism for electric guitar, synthesizer and live electronics (2007), as well as works for purely acoustic or electronic ensembles.[3][4]
He has collaborated with the Swedish Wind Ensemble, Red Light New Music, loadbang, Jan Risberg’s Futurum Ensemble, Yale Philharmonia and KMH Symphony Orchestra. Since 2008, he operates what he calls “the smallest record label in the world”, Pink Pamphlet.[5]
Knight's works are published by the Swedish Music Information Centre and Pink Pamphlet.[6] He is a member of Fylkingen in Stockholm.[7]
