Multi-instrumentalist and composer Andrew L. Marks has moved from genre to genre like it's nobody's business. He took up music as a youngster beginning with the piano, then a love of guitar took hold. A decade of hard rock, funk and blues paved the way for an exploration of electronic formats. Studying at Sydney's Australian Institute of Music, Andy grew in knowledge and understanding of using DAWs, production techniques, rigging and sampling. New technology, virtual synths and the power of MIDI instilled a passion for independent beat-making. Partnered with Andrew's love of space, science and the big questions, the results are an eclectic mixture of chillout harmonies, soaring fat bass lines, expansive pads and a dash of his roots through the guitar and piano. Based in Sydney, Andy records from his studio along the banks of the Georges River. His first solo resease came in 2009 under the guise of Colt. 'A New Voyage' showcased his growing repetoire and the new direction his music

Having made an initial foray into the world of music with piano as a child, Andrew L. Marks soon discovered that the world of music is as differing and complex as the notes on the manuscripts seemed all that time ago. Even at that early age the creative juices were beginning the flow. Fast-forward to today and having studied music and mastered in guitar in Sydney, Andrews passion for writing and composition is as strong as ever. Not limited to a single instrument, Andrew composes with many different styles in mind via the use of different instrumentation. From analog synthesizers, drum machines and LFO's to tablas, glockenspiels and glass instruments; this variety in the creative process gives his work a unique flavour which can be only recognised as his own. Coupling this love of variety with an infectious curiosity of the universe and our place in it, Andrew hopes to take the listener on a cosmic journey of rhythm, bass and wonder which they haven't experienced before.
