The man behind ‘Magician’, Ian Rutter is a composer and musician from Bolton, Lancashire. He is 49 years old and has been playing keyboards now for a great many years; first plonking out a tune at the age of 10 on the family piano, and inspired by his father who often played sheet music of the latest ‘popular tunes’. He got his first keyboard at the age of 13 and although unable to read music, played by ear all his favourite tunes to entertain his family and friends.
During his teenage years he was inspired by such artists as Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre and Pink Floyd. His love of electronic music mirrored his love of electronics and he even made his own keyboard at one time. Although music was not in his choice of subjects at school he continued to entertain and amaze his friends and family by his ability to ‘play by ear’ almost any tune they could mention. He formed a good understanding of music and what sounds made a memorable song.
In his late teenage years he progressed onto bigger and better keyboards, eventually enrolling on keyboard lessons and attaining a grade 7 in organ music. His love of music continued throughout his 20s and 30s and always had the secret desire to write his own music. Because of work commitments and family life he never realised this until some years later. This combined with advances in technology meant he could write music for the first time on his computer. Using a basic sound card and MIDI he produced his first piece of music in the early 90s.
