It’s been a busy week with three very different bookings…actually I should be getting ready to go to a fourth in Eccles at the moment but I had a last minute cancellation so here I am. On Wednesday, I played a corporate fundraiser for a mental health charity at the storied Midland Hotel. According to […]

This Week’s Shows 8.11.21
posted by Andrew D Meyer
It feels like and has indeed been forever since I’ve posted one of these weekly roundups. Except for a handful of live performances here and there, the pandemic has pretty much put the kibosh on any kind of live music for me for well over a year now. I’m very grateful to say that it […]

Stardust: Meditations on Mental Resilience During the Pandemic
posted by Andrew D Meyer
I am not a musician. I am not anything, other than a collection of a few trillion atoms bound together by natural laws which I, naturally do not understand.

It’s a dancy little number for you weekend pleasures and features soprano saxophone melodies, harmonized by sequencers, and big electronic beats.

New Tune — Ataraxia

I’ve been really digging the music of trumpeter/composer Jon Hassell lately and wanted to dabble a bit in that sonic […]

Here’s the next tune in my Friday releases series. I’m doing a new one each week. This one is full of soprano saxophones, synthesizers, and spacey electronic beats. What’s not to love?

New Tune — Mindstream
posted by Andrew D Meyer
Mindstream is built around a slowed down montuno, played on the vibraphone, with a heavy dub beat and a haunting soprano saxophone melody. There’s a brief moment of blisteringly quick bass clarinet and a spacey groove with soprano solo to the end.

Check it out here. As always, listening on Bandcamp is free but purchases are always appreciated. You can also follow me on Bandcamp to […]

Kaleidoscope EP
posted by Andrew D Meyer
Yesterday I released three new tunes on an EP called Kaleidoscope. They’re meant to be groovy little things that you can put in your pocket and walk around with. The title refers to the construction of the tunes, which is largely short phrases that repeat and move around, much like a Kaleidoscope. The title of […]
