Biography

Who Am I?

My name is Andrew Southworth and I make music. I’m a big fan of doing things yourself, and that means all my music is written, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by me. I also make my own artwork, music videos and I do my own marketing. I believe in forging your own path, and controlling your own life. There are no labels or managers between me and you, and thats the way I like it.

You may have seen my modular synth collection in t

You may have seen my modular synth collection in the back of images or videos. If you aren't familiar with modular synthesizers or Eurorack, imagine if you got a normal synthesizer and isolated it into each individual component and could swap things out whenever you wanted and wire it however you want. In this case the main melody here was generated randomly using the Marbles random source, fed into a digital pluck / string simulator which is then fed into the Beads real-time granular processor. Then I sequenced some drums and analog synth modules over it. This was just an idea I had that I liked when jamming, so I recorded it. Since then i've pulled out all the patch cables, so the patch is effectively gone forever. There are no presets or saves with this stuff. Most of the time I use my modular setup to record extra layers in my songs, or to create samples and loops i'll later use in music in some way. Its a cool playground to explore sounds in a way that would be difficult or impossible on a computer, just like how a lot of music I make on the computer would be difficult or impossible to make on the modular.

Vocal performance of my song Shy I released back i

Vocal performance of my song Shy I released back in 2019! This is probably one of the poppiest sounding thigns i've ever written. Fun fact, originally I wrote this instrumental for another vocalist but the collab fell apart so I wrote my own vocals for the track. Ended up being one of my favorites from the album too. :)

My new song 'Best Friend' coming this Friday hits

My new song 'Best Friend' coming this Friday hits all the feels. This is the artwork for it, I made it myself in Blender which is a free 3D animation software (I try to make all my own song artwork). I'll be dropping more info about the track around release day, including the message behind the lyrics which up until recently I haven't been as open about. If you want to pre-save it you know where to find it! 🎧🎛️🎤🎹

Loved the experience of my octatrack so picked up

Loved the experience of my octatrack so picked up a digitakt and digitone as well! Super cool boxes, nothing beats the feeling of making a sweet track with a couple pieces of hardware. If you have no idea what these are, basically one makes drums, one makes synth sounds, and the other can record and mix things together in a live fashion. Best part about good music gear is that the resale value holds up quite well if you realize you don’t like something haha. But day 1 I’m digging these.

Making music is always fun, but sometimes I make m

Making music is always fun, but sometimes I make music with the intention of it being released someday and other times I make music JUST for fun. This was one of the times it was just for fun, I didn't even press save afterwards haha.
Obviously I recorded a video of it, but this is actually how most of the music I make ends up - collecting dust on a hard drive or deleted on the spot. Theres something liberating about making a track with no expectations of production value or quality, and its completely different from the experience of writing lyrics and vocals and fine tuning a track for release (which I obviously also love).
I think most music artists are like this, and I think most music listeners don't realize this. 90+% of the music your favorite artists ever write is thrown away and never heard by anyone. For every song I release there are 10 I don't release.
Anyways, enjoy the quick jam 🙂

If you aren't familiar with the music making proce

If you aren't familiar with the music making process, most modern electronic based music is written in a way thats impossible to actually 100% perform live due to the sheer number of tracks and production techniques. Most artists will just DJ their songs but I thought it would be more interesting to sing the tracks, play some lead / bass parts and transition from section to section.
