IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
With a multi-disciplinary degree in TV/radio/film production from the University of Evansville, and a double major in music, Wiedemann has been actively creating works for documentaries, news programs and film. His music has aired in national syndication, and on CBS and PBS television stations. He has also scored music for commercial and instructional videos.

Original musical works have been premiered by ensembles including the Kiev Philharmonic, Colorado Youth Symphony Orchestra, and Cal Poly MIDI Ensemble.

An album collection of original music under the name Orchestronics®, explores many new varieties of orchestration using classic orchestral and electronic instruments. Wiedemann also publishes sheet music for many of his original works, geared mainly toward community and educational ensembles.

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 began experimenting with electronic music, and tape-to-tape overdubbing (long before MIDI). That same year he began his video production and storytelling career as a videographer with WTVW-TV, WFIE-TV and later KFMB-TV. Each new advance in music production technology presented an opportunity to "grow the ensemble" of sounds, leading to new and different instrument pairings.
