"I worked with Andy on the 2017 Next Campaign. I couldn't have asked for better. Our brief to him was to create distinctive, different percussive tracks across a suite of 10 second ads. He really embraced this. First with some terrific demos and then working with a great drummer in the final session. I actually think it was the sound that really brought the ads to life. It was a pleasure working with him".

"Andy was a dream to work with. He is brilliant at taking a creative brief and turning it into something special and unique. He is extremely patient, and fast at turning around client feedback. He’s also a great guy, who you would want to go for a beer with outside of work."
Natalie Parish | Senior Producer | Pulse Films Los Angeles
“Andy’s sound design on The Big Day was a huge factor in the success of the film. He went to great lengths, with obsessive attention to detail, to build a naturalistic ambience where none existed. He then introduced elements and worked cleverly on the mix in ways that subtly underline our character's emotional journey across the film.
The BIFA win for Best British Short, for The Big Day was a result of a team effort and Andy was an absolutely essential member of this team”
"I’ve been lucky enough to work with Andy on a number of occasions. He’s outrageously talented, collaborative, full of ideas and always adding. He’s also just a lovely person to spend a few hours in a windowless room with."
Simon Cenamor | Associate Creative Director / Writer | Apple
"Andy is a rare breed of talent who is as equally adept at creating detailed sound effects work and broadcast mixes, as he is at producing and composing orchestral work or more contemporary pop. In addition to that he is a fantastic guitarist with a lovely singing voice to boot! These skills are backed up by a man who is as cool headed and trustworthy as they come, with creative talents that would be a serious asset to any project.
Andy worked at String and Tins for nearly five years and was a considerable influence on our successes during his time with us in London. He quickly grew to become an invaluable member of our team and was trusted to answer any music or sound design brief with insightful creative work.
In addition I can honestly say his methodical reasoning, backed up with great technical skill and attention to detail, became a benchmark for us when looking for new members to strengthen our team."
Will Cohen | Managing Director, Sound Designer & Composer | String and Tins Ltd.
"An absolutely top level sound designer and composer, who also happens to be an extremely decent person. I worked with Andy over a number of years, in some tight spots and he never lets anyone down. He stands out creatively, for an ability to try his hand at anything. I miss working with him."
