Andrew Garton - Son of Science     Andrew Garton's tribute to progressive, jazz and psychedelic rock was five years in the making. Described in the liner notes by Warren Brains Dusting, "... this CD contains sounds that are unique, that defy tradition, that can't be categorised, that challenge the listener." With additional synthesiser flourishes from Melbourne's Steve Law, this is a very special album that provides brooding soundscapes and illuminating eccentricities that speak of the complexities of our time and the technologies that burden us.

He has been composing and performing electronic and acoustic music since the late 70s and studied composition privately with composer Sykes Rose in the early 80s. Since 1989 he has contributed to the development of low-cost computer networks in Australia and countless community networking initiatives throughout Asia Pacific where he explored his cross-cultural theatre and music interests. Ultimately I seek to create spaces for inspiration, knowledge sharing and reflection within a commons based society. I create works that attempt to 'shift consciousness', to raise awareness not by threat or fear, but by an appreciation and comprehension that not only are we all in this together, that we are all made of the same stuff. Look up at the night sky and know that we're made of the same stuff of stars' knocks me out every time!
