- andy jackson: twelve half steps
(2023, cd, europe, esoteric antenna)
Andy Jackson is best known for his work as a recording and mixing engineer (which he has been doing since the early seventies), but he also released a handful of albums !
His latest release, "Twelve Half Steps", is a joyful and beautiful sounding study of rhythms, sounds and sonics.

Nice.
Very nice.
Andy explains: “Twelve half steps; Twelve modal scales; Twelve blank sheets of paper with rigid frames. Twelve exercises in style. Twelve rocks turned over, twelve objects underneath, each one half expected, half revealed.The limitations were opportunities. Start walking in a prescribed direction, get to the corner, see what’s round that. The rigidity of the start creating a freedom of movement once in the landscape, knowing that there are no wrong answers. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. Each piece was started and finished before the next was considered. Each piece stands on its own, but they are linked as the same steps were traced on again and again. The same shapes but painted with different colours each time.”
