‘Robohands' is the experimental solo/collaborative project of London based
composer/ instrumentalist Andy Baxter. Originally a side project to explore
drumming techniques, ‘Robohands’ evolved into a more composition based
endeavor with his records often featuring large arrangements and also solo
instrument performances. Having recorded four studio albums to date, ‘Palms’
(2023, Bastard Jazz Recordings) is the fifth in a series of seven Robohands LPs.
Having supported Grammy Award winning musician Terrence Blanchard at the
Camden Jazz Cafe, his project has also headlined multiple venues in London,
Brighton and Lisbon. Sonically making reference to late 1950s sounds through to
late 1980s and early 1990s sounds, each album has differed in direction, with the
latest album emulating saturated analog tape recordings of the late 60s and 70s,
with an added subtle modern layer of glitch FX and pitch control experimentation in
places. Fresh off of the release of EP ‘Giallo’ (2022), Baxter again takes on drums,
guitar, bass, keys and also mixing duties for the latest LP, which comprises of
seventeen tracks, and was released in October 2023, on Brooklyn's Bastard Jazz
recordings.
