Andy's background is in recording and production. Having also been a drummer in various rock and pop bands, he opened and ran a commercial recording studio. It was through this that he and fellow Composer, Marten Joustra met. Andy and Marten have been composing music together for 32 years and in that time they have composed and recorded over 2000 pieces of music for Television, Film, Radio, Computer Games and Production Music Libraries. They quickly established a mutual ambition to write music for television and initially gained experience composing soundtracks for corporate videos, radio commercials and live events. Andy and Marten's combination of formal musical training and instinctive, creative composition have always complimented each other well, forming a partnership where a typical week can involve writing a string quartet, a thrash metal anthem and an educational pre-school song. As well as composing in a wide variety of styles and genres, they are also prolific lyricists - having written the words for many themes, songs and in-programme features. Andy and Marten provide a professional, friendly and reliable service - priding themselves on having never missed a deadline. They have studios in South Cheshire and North Staffordshire as well as location recording facilities. Past clients include: BBC, ITV, Sesame Workshop, Disney Interactive, The Foundation, Fox Kids, Channel Four, RDF Television, Jim Henson, SKY, Universal, Activision
