Adam Rudegeair - Composer

Adam's musical background stems from a childhood immersed in his mother's jazz collection. Since then his influences snake through many different spheres, exemplified by groups as diverse as Sun Ra, Medeski Martin and Wood, Prince, Harry Connick Jr, Dr John, Danny Elfman, Thelonious Monk, and the Pharoahs.

Having completed a film degree in Queensland in 1999, Adam returned home to Melbourne and studied jazz under Steve Sedergreen. Since then he has been contantly gigging at home and interstate with several groups, namely Henry Manetta and the Trip, the 9-piece funk orchestra Rhymes with Donkey, and his own jazz quartet.

Adam currently fronts Neon Bogart, who also make an appearance in the film.
