London, UK – Esoteric Antenna is pleased to announce the release of “SIGNAL TO NOISE”, the new studio album
by twice Grammy nominated PINK FLOYD
engineer ANDY JACKSON. “Signal to Noise” is a fine, modern,
progressive work, which draws on Andy Jackson’s exemplary work as an engineer
and producer. Besides being an allusion to Andy’s sound engineering background,
the title refers to many of the lyrical themes of the album.
Andy explains:
“The album reflects on the sorting of what is important in life from the humdrum
of everyday existence, and is in itself an analogy for the process of the
creation of the album”.
Andy Jackson began his career at Utopia Studios in London, training
under James Guthrie, a relationship that continues to this day with the duo
being co-pilots of Pink Floyd’s sound. Andy had success as a recording engineer
at Utopia, including hits with Boomtown Rats “I Don’t Like Mondays”, before the
call came from James Guthrie to follow him into the world of Pink Floyd, to
work on the film of “The Wall”, an offer he couldn’t resist, having been a
Floyd fan for many years. So started a relationship that continues to this day,
(on albums such as “The Final Cut”, “A Momentary Lapse of Reason”, “The
Division Bell”, “Pulse”, Roger Waters’ “The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking”,
David Gilmour’s “About Face”, “On An Island”, “Live in Gdansk”), resulting in
two Grammy nominations for his work and Mix magazine’s award for best live
sound engineer for “Pulse” tour. He is also engineer and a co-producer of the
soon-to-be-released Pink Floyd album, “The Endless River”.
Alongside his work with Pink Floyd and wider work as an engineer, he has
recorded three albums, recorded with friends, as a musician in his own right:
“On the Surface”, “Obvious” and “Mythical Burrowing Animals”. All three works
were ideas ahead of their time it would seem. He did find time along the way to
produce work for other artists, including the seminal British Goth band Fields
Of The Nephilim. This again was the genesis of a relationship that would lead
to the present day, after ex Nephilim Tony Pettitt asked Andy to join his new
band The Eden House as guitarist.
After three years with Eden House, Andy felt it was time to move on
& embark on a new challenge of a completely solo album project. This has
lead to the creation of the “Signal to Noise” album, a wonderful sonic
experience that is sure to Andy Jackson heralded as a significant creative
force in modern Progressive music.
