His earlier scientific work influenced the songs written and recorded with Martin in the early 1980s at the height of the electronic music wave - and the Cold War. His lyrics are concerned with betrayal, devotion, secrecy, suppressed love, the scientist’s dilemma, paranoia and war - Dance Music For The Atomic Age. His articles on nuclear, biological and chemical weapons can be found on the Internet. He is also a painter of surreal gouache pictures, which he has exhibited in London and Brighton. Andy came to London from university in the mid-1970s, and became involved in punk, New Wave, the ‘New Romantic’ club scene and synthesizer music. He was influenced by the Human League and Soft Cell. His lifetime influence will always be the beat music of the 1960s and the town he spent his teenage and student years - Liverpool. In 1982 he recorded a collection of songs, New Mexico, with Martin Lloyd at Feedback Studio in London. It was released on cassette and sold well, particularly at science fiction conventions, clubs and pubs where Oppenheimer Analysis performed live. It was also well reviewed in the music press. The recent interest in minimal electronics has led to Andy and Martin teaming up again in 2005. |
