For most of his career Andy has been a freelance software developer and a musician. 
As co-owner of a recording studio in the mid 80s, he was present at the birth of digital music production.  When MIDI first appeared there was no software to actually use with it and so Andy was beguiled into C programming. Becoming passionate about the field of digital production he parted company with the studio to study Music Technology at the LCF where one of his tutors was Tim Orr (EMS).   To pay for college he worked part time for Pandora Software where he developed applications to control various music equipments including Akai samplers. This led to Tim introducing Andy to David Cockerell (EMS, Electro-Harmonix) and Chris Hugget (Oxford Synthesiser Company, Novation), who at the time were working for Akai Professional EMI. They asked Andy to join the R&D team as a junior programmer and for several years he worked at Akai developing publicly released and in-house software for their range of electronic musical instruments. Around 2001, Andy independently developed an early desktop software synth (CellSynth) and became a freelance developer. Since then he has worked on many creative projects including a 3D visualiser for architects, an iPhone game and several years as senior engineer building a 3D engine on iOS for Touchpress Limited. Andy and partner Jan founded Living Memory Software in 2015 with the aim of creating some new and exciting tools for today’s electronic musicians.
