Adrianna Krikl

Adrianna Krikl is a Los Angeles based composer who specializes in writing ambient electronic music with a cinematic quality. Influenced by movies, electronic sounds and the fusion of computers and music, her sonic landscapes are created by blending analogue synths, digital software, samples and cassette loops. 

A self-taught musician/composer, Adrianna discovered the joy of creating music while experimenting with rudimentary toy synths, cassette tape recorders and an array of inexpensive gear purchased at Radio Shack. There was a sense of wonder & excitement that came with creating music through trial and error, without even really knowing what she was doing. That feeling of joy & discovery is something Adrianna has recently re-captured by going back to the basics. Eschewing expensive high-end gear that some around her had recommended, Adrianna dug up some of the old gear of her youth and purchased some new, less expensive equipment which has enabled her to tap into the creativity she had utilized in her younger years. By connecting guitar pedals to synths, breaking out old cassette recorders & embracing tape hiss Adrianna has been able to fuse her new sounds with the techniques of her youth.
