I am the artist behind ANDYROID, all about using computers to make music sound human. I'm inspired by the growing influence of the computer and Information technology on our daily lives, and never more so than when it comes to making music. For a keyboard player like me, this opens up a world of possibilities as I can now play the sound of ANY instrument on my keyboard - but the challenge is to make that sound authentic (a lot harder than you may think!). I've started this project off with my greatest ever challenge - Classical Music! I'm not classically trained but over the years I've learnt a few things about music theory and it's been my lifelong ambition to write a classical piece. My first track is CLASSIC[AL] HANDS, inspired by the power of the human spirit, particularly prevalent in the times we currently live in - where anxiety, uncertainty and fear on so many levels is faced with an underlying battling spirit and a sentiment that we'll get through this!
