About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
Anonymeye is the nom de plume of Andrew Tuttle, an experimental musician from Brisbane, Australia who reconfigures various country and folk musics within an abstract sonic framework, utilising electronic and acoustic instrumentation including acoustic guitar, signal processing, synthesisers, and effects units. Anonymeye straddles and blurs boundaries between improvisation and composition, experimentation and pop, acoustic and electronic, rural landscapes and urban landscapes.
Since 2004, Anonymeye has performed at festivals, clubs and events throughout Australia and Europe including Le Placard/Club Transmediale festivals @ Maria Am Ufer (Berlin, Germany), Electrofringe/This Is Not Art festivals (Newcastle, Australia), ZXZW Festival (Tilburg, Netherlands), Fabrique @ Brisbane Powerhouse (Brisbane, Australia), Gallery of Modern Art (Brisbane, Australia), Electundra festival @ LOOP (Melbourne, Australia), Extrapool (Nijmegen, The Netherlands), Instants Chavires (Paris, France), The Troubadour (Brisbane, Australia), The Zoo (Brisbane, Australia), Seymour Centre (Sydney, Australia), and Horse Bazaar (Melbourne, Australia).
Anonymeye's music has released music on labels including sound&fury, hellosQuare, Curt, Half/theory, and Feral Media. Anonymeye's second full length album 'The Disambiguation Of Anonymeye' is out now on the sound&fury label.
Selected Press
The Wire - "work[s] up something sublime from the dreary hum of malfunctioning neon lights and off-white plastic balcony railings, finding beauty in their humble everydayness"
Mess & Noise - "there's a singular and unique musical mind at work here."
Terrascope - "wonderful guitar skills"
Scene - "a thicket of processed guitars and minimalist electronics"
Rave - "a lush blend of country-inspired riffs and licks, sampled, stopped and started, shifted and stuttered, stammered and syncopated, or simply left to ring and whisper of wide-open spaces."
Before Hollywood - "Tuttle mixes intricate bluegrass fingerpicking with sound manipulations to create a fairly unique atmosphere, since when the two are combined it creates a strange balance between comfortable familiarity and otherworldiness."
Labyrinth City - "Anonymeye, a local experimental musician has a peculiar sound: An acoustic guitar tuned to almost standard country style chords are fed through his laptop, manipulated, twisted and looped around to a somewhat strange effect and experience upon hearing it live."
