about

""Art" deliberately eschews clear structures. Instead, a mixture of scratchy drones, extended tinkling, and the diffuse mirage of popular culture quotations unfolds. The soundscape is raw but precisely produced, clearly an attempt not only to embrace the unpredictable, but to deliberately use it as a creative tool. " (African Paper)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"ART" is SAD MAN (Andrew Spackman, Dark Jazz Project, Cars from the Future) new album of dark ambient and experimental electronics.

The album is based on a short story inspired by Midlands based surrealist artist and painter Emmy Bridgewater. The story expands on a fictitious imagining of the central character Emmy, in response to the ideas and visual themes in her 1970 collage “Garden of Pleasure”.

Each track loosely soundtracks chapters from the story, whilst more broadly exploring the potential for surrealist approaches in music making. Particularly the idea of magic and beauty in the unexpected and uncanny. Ultimately the album tries to express the idea of freedom from established norms, both sonically and structurally, a dream of ideas and chaos.

ABOUT SAD MAN/ ANDREW SPACKMAN:

“It’s weird, it’s interesting, it’s challenging, maybe slightly discombobulating as well.” - Jamz Supernova, BBC 6 Music

“I kind of wouldn't mind if that track went on forever." - DJ Deb Grant - New Music Fix, BBC 6 Music

“More bite than a cage of hungry wildcats.” - Mat Smith - Electronic Sound Magazine

“Like a moon-guided abstract fear; a ghostly voyage aboard a Kubrickian, Lovecraftian and Tarkovskyian space freighter, this new vision scopes lunar caverns and the deep cosmos.” - Monolith Cocktail

Andrew Spackman has released over 30 albums and over 300 tracks over a 10-year period. His music has featured on BBC Radio 3 (Late Junction), BBC 6 Music (Mary Anne Hobbs, Jamz Supernova, Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone, New Music Fix with Deb Grant and Tom Ravenscroft), BBC Introducing Mix Tape, Resonance FM, Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM, as well as being reviewed in Electronic Sound Magazine, DJ Mag, Monolith Cocktail, Louder Than War and The Wire. His music was featured on The Wire Magazine Tapper 55.

In October 2022 Andrew contributed a track to Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Records release Antechamber Music 2.

In May 2022 Andrew was included in Holly Herndon’s first collection of collaborative NFT’s using Holly+, her AI digital voice.

In 2020 Andrew collaborated with storyteller Francis Lowe to create Stories From An Island, a spoken word and soundtrack album of strange and supernatural tales released on the Cue Dot Label.

In 2019 Andrew was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 DJ Nick Luscombe (and Creative Director of Musicity Global) to create a 15-minute musical work in collaboration with Anna Palmer (Dorcha) for a large-scale light installation that was performed live on New Year’s Eve at Coventry Cathedral.
