Andrew Tuttle

Andrew Tuttle is a best-kept secret of the Australian musical underground – a songwriter, composer and improviser who has collaborated with Matmos, Steve Gunn, Charlie Parr, Gwenifer Raymond and many others. Tuttle's music exists serenely and purposefully in a space where the five-string banjo and the six-string acoustic guitar weave in and out of processed electronics. Like time-lapse photography, it unfolds its colours and textures with an astonishing gracefulness and wonderment. 
 Fleeting Adventure, Tuttle's fifth solo album, is a musical adventure through a reimagined journey from the Australian ambient producer and banjo player. Released on 29 July 2022 via Mistletone (AUS/NZ) and Basin Rock (ROW), a crew of fellow travellers - including Steve Gunn, Chuck Johnson, Luke Schneider and Balmorhea - help navigate a cosmic trip into subtropical landscapes. Golden plucks of banjo, gauzy electronics and cosmic guitar shimmer into gloriously expansive melodies that conjure peace and space, comfort and wonder. 
 Over four earlier solo albums released by the Room40 label family, Tuttle's release and touring schedule includes performances in revered Australian and European spaces including Melbourne Recital Centre, Cafe OTO (London), The Tivoli (Brisbane), Paradiso Noord (Amsterdam), MONA (Hobart), Botanique (Bruxelles) and Galeria ZDB (Lisboa).
