ajt

ajt is Andrew Taylor's electronica branch.

Old gear, possibilty and life are things that inspire me. I have a liking for simple equipment, basic samplers, eight tracks and 1970's analogue synth sounds.

I first learnt guitar playing along to Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, any other instruments you might hear on my compositions I've just hit at until they've made an agreeable grunt.

I've always been deeply interested in making music for films. If any of the film makers on myspace are in need of some original music let me know. I have a back catalogue of music but also get excited about making music for specific projects.

I've just finished work on my brashest set of electro tunes so far! I'm wearing my influences on my sleeve a little with this one and I've really enjoyed messing with old synths like the Solina String Ensemble and Roland SH 2000. Now that I've finished I'll be playing nothing but guitars, mandolins and penny whistles for a while!

Some of the other bands I play with are 'The Challenge of Feral Green', 'the24thofjune' and 'Andrew Taylor' (not a band, just me!). If you wanna hear more; follow the links.

The slideshow displays all the ajt album sleeves so far.

If you like the tunes and want to hear more but without the myspace/MP3 wobble, the album 'Head in the Concrete' is now available as a 10 track, 46 minute CD-R. It comes wrapped in a handcrafted sleeve made from recycled cereal boxes. Click on the front sleeve image below to be taken to the paypal site. You don't need to have a paypal account, you can make a secure payment with any type of payment card. It's only £4 which includes postage to anywhere in the world. As I am sure you all know; when you are directed away from this site the conscientious people at myspace give you a warning to make sure no one steals your password and all that, don't be put off by this, it'll all be ok, I won't knick your password I promise!!!
