Adrian Knight (b. 1987) is a Swedish composer and multi-instrumentalist. His work, which “paints a curious American landscape filled with nostalgia and decay, violence and melancholic solitude” (NewMusicBox), is characterized by its lush harmonic language, rhythmic plasticity, and startling unpredictability underpinning its ruminative surface. His piece Obsessions, commissioned and recorded by R. Andrew Lee, was lauded as "a substantial achievement” (New York Classical Review), "gorgeous, haunting" (The Brooklyn Rail) and “quietly eccentric…enigmatic but irrefutable” (Musikworks Magazine). Knight is an accomplished studio musician and and a member of several groups, including Blue Jazz TV, Alice Cohen and the Channel 14 Weather Team and Private Elevators. His steady output of solo albums released on Galtta Media has generated a dedicated following in the underground cassette community. Knight’s scores are published by Project Schott New York and Svensk Musik.
