About Me

Hello! My name is Andrew Pates and I am a video and light artist currently working mostly in live music and interactive environments. Please check out my video and pictures sections here for examples of my work.

New Album Leaf Tour video, directed and cut by myself...

Over the past few years I have been working mostly with The Album Leaf . I have also been performing with and producing films for The Ataris . Last year, however, I broke the 'only work with bands that start with A' rule and collaborated with Tristeza on their first DVD release.

Beyond the pictures and videos here please take a look at my You Tube channel , The Album Leaf on tour clips and Tristeza DVD samples . There are samples of my video web journalism for Sign On San Diego here , and here .

I am updating my blog with live show dates and things like that so check it out, and thank you for visiting!
