ROBIN WADE

Hi, I’m Robin Wade, a composer, orchestrator and music producer based in Graz, Austria.

My work spans a few different worlds: composing music for film, television and other media; working with orchestral sample libraries at Orchestral Tools, where I’m part of the Content QA team; and exploring the possibilities of music technology in the studio.

I’ve written music for a number of production music libraries, with tracks used in television and other productions internationally. Other projects have included creating music and sound for mobile games at Cervo Media, whose games have been installed on more than 100 million devices, composing Breathing Earth for the Water & Light Festival in Bad Radkersburg and Gornja Radgona, and contributing to the editing of the Kurt Rosenwinkel Ultimate Book of Compositions.

My musical background is perhaps a little unconventional. I’ve played in bands covering just about everything from punk and metal to jazz, soul and classical music. I studied Jazz Studies at the City of Leeds College of Music, graduating in 1997, before returning to formal study and completing an MA in Orchestration for Film, TV & Games in 2019.

Alongside composing and producing, I’ve spent decades working with music technology, from DAWs and virtual instruments to the integration of studio hardware and software. I’m equally comfortable working with traditional notation and modern production tools, and occasionally help others bring their own studio setups together.

Ultimately, though, it’s all about the music. I enjoy the challenge of finding the right sound, character and musical direction for a project, particularly when the brief is something a little out of the ordinary.

If you have a project in mind, I’d love to hear about it.
