A Trace of Phosphor, by Andrew Heath

A Trace of Phosphor

by Andrew Heath

supported by

petem678 This is spell binding and alluring work. I simply love it. Favorite track: Black Days.

Tango Mango My. Goodness. Me. This music is beautiful and inventive, delicate and resigned. It feels like a deep revealing of mind and emotion. Without getting all new-agey, it brings to the surface and lets breathe stuff that doesn't get much focus in this average joe's busy life. This is a fantastic recording that will be a favourite of mine for years. Thank you Andrew!

about

This album is an intensely personal one to me. Most of the work was created during a very dark period of time over the winter. Interestingly, rather than block any artistic flow, I found this situation provided the cathartic stimulus to create - often at night or in the early hours of the morning when I found sleep difficult. I combined this outpouring with my wish to experiment with more exposed piano and a desire to create a new palette of tone clusters on the keyboard.

The result is a much darker and more melancholic sound than I’m used to, but one that is very intimate and that I am very much drawn to and feel inspired by.

released May 1, 2020

"A Trace of Phosphor" was written and recorded at my home in the Cotswolds, England late last year and features a beautiful and sublime soprano saxophone contribution from Lydia Kenny on ‘Will the Angels Still Hear Me?’ and ‘I Sleep Above the Forest’.

about

Andrew Heath Stroud, UK

Ambient, piano based, lower-case music. Quiet and intimate - it explores sounds from both acoustic and electronic sources, along with processed field recordings and gathered, ‘found’ sounds. This music is not static though. It drifts. It constantly shifts and creates new maps that are full of change but listen carefully and you’ll also hear quiet, random glitches or shimmering dissonances. ... more
