Bio

Norwich, UK. M. Andrews principally active as an instrumental improviser, songwriter, and poet; thus far Asmas has very much been a side-project for sporadic indulgence. This will change.

Gear

Asmas presents a VERY CRUEL DESIGN, a piece of apparatus comparable only to the thing from Kafka's 'In The Penal Colony', cOmInG sOoN to live use...

~THE INSUB REGISTRY~

a four-channel mixer combining...

1. a Macbook running loops generated from material produced and/or processed in PureData / Hydrogen / Audacity

2. FM radio thru a dynamic mic

3. a metronome-cum-tone-generator thru a Boss DS-1, Big Muff, and Ashdown 'James LoMenzo' Bass Hyper Drive

4. bowed, battered, and prepared electric guitar thru a high-gain valve preamp (preparations include screwdrivers, Allen keys, springs, coins, slides, a hammer...)

For recording purposes this is supplemented or replaced-in-part by various other instruments (most notably double bass and synth) plus extensive use of contact microphones and found objects.
