About Adrian Iowa

Adrian Iowa
is one of the most innovative, interesting and diverse Musicians / Artists our times. He is
• musician,
• composer,
• arranger,
• guitar player,
• producer,
• audio-engineer,
• web and sound designer,
• founder of the band PROTOTYP,
• founder and owner of the music production company PROTOTYP Music Entertainment Audio / Video & Multimedia Productions,
• founder of the Organization Messengers Of Art/We Are United! (expired link).!
He takes orders compositions (see, ROCHUS ANTHEM, THE GOLDEN KEY - Ballet/Dance Show, etc) and, perhaps most important to him, he is his own
boss/manager...
In addition, Adrian Iowa is already for decades an INDEPENDENT musician who is against deals with the so-called major labels. He produces everything in
connection with his work whether music or video production, independent in his Home Studio in Hechingen/Germany.
1979 he turned down a record deal, as a result we can say with high probability, he is (one of) the first Independent musicians worldwide!
With his great talent for sound gimmicks and his experiment he has boldness with different styles of music, he developed his own guitar tuning and
created his own style, we call it as he calls it namely "prototypmusic". Find its own path and remain true to himself, two important factors that have helped him get
to where he is today...
His style is unmistakable but unobtrusive, sometimes complicate, sometimes light dance, sometimes dreamy meditative; Adrian's musical and artistic experimentation
is so large that it cannot be pigeonholed. People around the world, musicians, review writers, radio stations, says that his music sounds sometimes like Pink Floyd or
Saga, or Mike Oldfield...
Fact is, we find in his music elements of art rock, prog, sympho, poetry, electronical and classical, but at the end it is always the "PROTOTYP" sound, his musical
fingerprint ... The musician moves effortlessly between different forms of musical expression and he is not afraid to experience the music world. He not only writes
rock songs, but he is composer and conductor for film music, or he simply composed the anthem for the Rochus Church where Johnny Weissmuller (Tarzan) was
baptized, or recently the final song for a ballet dance show called "The Golden Key" ... That makes his music so exciting ... He said:
"Not bether than the others - just other than the best - So, B OriginaL, don't ImiTate"
