Although Andrew Keeling is known primarily as a composer ( www.myspace.com/andrewkeeling1 ) he has written songs from the early 1970's onwards initially influenced by the music of Donovan, Nick Drake, Judee Sill and others. This page, therefore, represents musical beginnings. He has said, 'Often, I take a guitar or sit at the piano, put fingers on string or key and let go. From time to time a little song falls from the sky. It's almost like the primary musical impulse in one of my classical pieces, except these acoustic songs remain in their raw state. I don't feel the need to go on and develop them, either compositionally or sonically. They remain, more or less, just as they arrived.' Besides his recent work with Robert Fripp (Soundscape orchestrations), David Cross ( www.myspace.com/crossandkeeling ), T2 (Peter Dunton) and Ken Nicol (Steeleye Span/Albion Band), he has also written with ex-Fairport Convention/Trader Horne vocalist Judy Dyble, former King Crimson lyricist Peter Sinfield and Nick Drake Tribute Concert organiser Denise Offringa. He's also provided arrangements for Ashley Hutchins (ex-Fairport Convention/Steeleye Span/Albion Band) and Matt Seattle. See also:
