Music

Joe Wiedemann has been composing since he was 10 years old. Most of his non-CD credits are for broadcast television, film, and commercial video.

Life

Television and film composer Joe Wiedemann has more than 25-years broadcast experience behind the keyboard AND the camera. An award-winning film and broadcast composer, he scores music for television, video and motion pictures. He adds new sounds, in a classical style, with modern musical technology.

Experience behind the camera has influenced his music, and vice versa. With three Emmy awards for producing and editing video essays, he has established a personal style.

A lifelong musical background merged with a broadcast television career in 1978 for Wiedemann. While studying music at the University of Evansville, he spent nearly all of his savings on a rare and expensive PolyMoog synthesizer. He was after the widest variety of electronic sounds that technology had to offer at the time, all in one instrument. He began experimenting with electronic music, and tape-to-tape overdubbing. That same year he began his video production career as a news videographer with the ABC affiliate in Evansville. Music and video technology have come a long way since then.

Since 1981, Joe has been a videographer and editor with KFMB-TV (CBS) in San Diego, telling stories daily with video. On many occasions, these stories and documentaries called for custom music. Budgeting time, and focusing one’s energy on a tight deadline, is a necessity.

Wiedemann has scored music for film, news specials, documentaries, and commercial videos. His unique style of blending electronic and orchestral instruments became known as Orchestronics (R).
