about

‘Below the Noise’ is a series of microsound collages, built upon layered field recordings, synth drones and noises, side-chained to a heavy noise track, which was muted. This reduced the track down almost into a microsound, which left lots of air and thin ghost fragments in the mix. Filtering out all the harsh noise was meant as a mixing technique, but the process led to the album’s name and overall concept. Traces of the original sound source can only be imagined, as it sits below the noise. The reduction method leaves us with this collection of dusty ambient drones, imbued with satisfying static and crackly ASMR textures.

Alongside other projects as Seabuckthorn and Mt Went, Andy Cartwright's work has been released through labels including Bookmaker Records, Lost Tribe Sound, Eilean, IIKKI, Fluid Audio, A Quiet Room Recording and, LAAPS.

Turns (the song, in particular) is precisely the music I wish I could write. It has a melancholic/introspective feel while still having drive behind it. thecombinatorax
