about
Andrew has been playing and writing music since the age of 8 when he first picked up a guitar, now approaching his mid-twenties he is drawing influences from his comparatives and also from literature, film, geography and his own personal life. He has, in the last few years, from 2001 onwards started adding a more electrical aspect into the music he produces. Although not to be won over by the popular crowd he has experimented with more aggressive sounds using feedback and distortion to an adventurous advantage. Having played over 100 gigs in the last three to four years, he has gained the confidence and experience to push his music further, challenging himself to create new ideas and hopefully gain some recognition for the things he produces. On 5th October 2009, he released his debut album 'In Somnis Veritas'; a varied collection of 14 songs experimenting with different instruments, sounds, effects and structured similarly to a novel or stage performance with introduction, middle interlude and exit tracks. He is currently working on the follow-up to 'In Somnis Veritas'. 'Ghostlands' - to be released in late 2010. Reviews: “…Andrew Villanelle battles in his head between romance and reality. For a young boy of 19 he has a head full of beautiful passion and culture. His music whispers tales of Paris, England, Love, Death and Betrayal; all of which come across as a never ending carousel of imagery.” – Bath Spa Music Magazine ” It seems like a breathe of fresh air fr
