It's 1988, I'm 13 years old and I want to make music. The cheapest instrument is an acoustic guitar, I start taking lessons with a teacher. It does not take long to discover that you can make more noise with an electric guitar and I transition to it, I build an amplifier using parts from a broken stereo. I immediately join a metal band, following which there are concerts and self-produced demo tapes. One day by chance I try an old analog synthesizer, it is the turning point, I am fascinated by the construction of sound and the dynamics of electronic music. I enter this new phase and use a 4-track tape to produce several demos and split-tapes with various artists around the world. It's 1999. Everything comes to a halt until 2010 when I decide to engage the new technologies and combine them with old analog equipment. I discover field recording, I record in the open, edit sounds and mix them together with synthesizers and beats, creating my doppelgänger, Horrible Andy a mix of low-fi samples, analog sounds and processed, filtered, distorted beats. During 2020 I released 3 new singles, one of them "HUMAN" in collaboration with New York rapper/songwriter Deem Spencer. I'm fascinated by Pauline Oliveros sound experiments, influenced by the dark moods of Tricky, Massive Attack, Portishead, the rural psychedelia of Flying Saucer Attack but also by the beatmaking of DJ Shadow, Roots Manuva, Nightmares On Wax, Dan The Automator, J Dilla and DJ Premier.
