Andy was a genius who gave so much inspiration and passion
to all with his incredible work. He was loved by many aficionados of the
trance/ambient genre, but will be especially remembered for his work with Alex
Paterson and The Orb, most notably the album Orblivion and single Toxygene,
which reached number 4 in the UK charts in 1997. Together with his musical
partners Alex Paterson and former members Kris Weston, Simon Phillips and
Thomas Fehlmann together with Nick
Burton of Westworld fame. Andy created electronic and ambient/techno/house/dub
masterpieces. These took him across the globe where he played to masses of fans
in countries including the USA, Japan and Canada as well as a sell out concert
at the Royal Albert Hall in 1998.....
Prior to his Orb years he had helped to design and build the
studios for Bunk Junk & Genius and worked with many famous artists. He was
with the Orb until 1999 during which, along with his musical input including
the Live 93 album, he assisted with the building of their Back Passage studio in Clapham ....
In 2000 he started producing music on his own and more
recently produced music for artists such as Kovak and Basement Jaxx at their neighbouring studios in Brixton,
London.....
Andy was an incredibly doting and loving father who always
made time for his children Gabriel and Circe and their father’s passing will
leave a chasm in both their lives.....
