All programming and composition on Lowercase Noises' albums are performed by Andy, with exception of the occasional guest musician or vocalist.
Lowercase Noises was birthed out of a small college dorm with very basic recording gear, a slew of effects pedals and an electric guitar. As Andy’s passion for and interest in the recording/mixing process bloomed, along with his talent for producing, songs and styles emerged that built the framework for what Lowercase Noises is today.
His first serious effort and full-length release, Seafront (Nov. 2009), was a unique blend of styles, including ambient, post-rock and electronica, as well as intriguing dialogue and field recordings.
Marshall (May 2010), named after and written for Andy's son, is ambient at its best; smooth-moving, quiet melodies that ease the listener from one song to the next in a truly lullaby-like quality.
Next came Ambient Songs (Aug. 2010), to tide fans over until the next studio album; a collection of simpler, 'live' recordings taken from Andy's acclaimed YouTube videos that expressed his ability to perform what were essentially improvised songs.
Carry Us All Away (Dec. 2010) was a true milestone in Lowercase Noises' career. An appropriate follow-up to the two 'quieter' previous releases, Carry Us All Away aims for nothing shy of epic, displaying Andy at the top of his form. The album opens with a fantastic bang, then carries the listener through 45 more minutes of bliss, dipping occasionally to lovely ambient swoons, then vamping back into satisfyingly big beats and driving melodies.
Most recently, Migratory Patterns (May 2011) was released, exploring a sort of soft-electronica sound coupled with somewhat darker melodies, making it Lowercase Noises' most contemplative album yet. Additionally, the album is loosely themed after the mysterious '52-hertz Whale,' a lone-traveling creature who has long evaded researchers. This whale's low-frequency call can be heard on Migratory Patterns.
Andy has also performed and collaborated on a number of other artist's albums, and is currently the lead guitarist for Albuquerque singer/songwriter Chuck Elmore.

@AmbientMusicCollector
It's the most beautiful thing I heard this year. <3
@GlennMichaelThompson
Sounds great... I feel this music has healing qualities to it, perhaps the title is of no coincidence!?! This piece has calming effects, as well it helps me begin to slip into a trance like or meditative state. Music can have healing effects, and this sound wash of blended colours and hues can really have opiate-like pain relief to some extent. It may even be addictive,,, lol ;-) Keep on straight ahead Andy, the world needs more music like this and less formulaic dance thumping. (although I do like a dose of some good funk oriented grooves to lift the spirits in a joyful manner in relative doses), Best regards. -Glenn

I went to Andy's opening night of his Slow Spaces tour last night in Denver, and it was mind-bogglingly great! His command of his tools, from the guitar to the keyboard to the pedals and controllers is profound. He played 45 minutes from the new album, The Swiss Illness, note-for-note (it seemed to me) from the album. It was really majestic sitting outside in the night air, with his video playing on the giant screen behind him, a master musician/composer in full control. I know I'm gushing, but really, waking up today I'm still flying from the experience. If you can get to his concert, go.

+Bill Keilt thank you so much for coming, Bill!

@tsinoh34
Awesome Andy. I'm such a big fan. I really like the music video. This reminds a lot of New Zealand's South Island. That's what I picture myself doing, recording an ambient track with a background video of the South Island. You need to visit here on a holiday or something and it might give you a new inspiration or ideas. Love your work!
