Jack describes his songwriting as: “The music I compose is written in a state of being similar to meditation and what has been termed ‘channeling’. Before starting a composition, I sit quietly and wait for the cosmos to show me where to begin. I search through sounds in digital synthesis and then listen for a given sound that reflects most accurately a part of what is being ‘channeled’ through me. I then manipulate that sound, fine-tuning it to match the message of the whole and add it to the emerging composition.
“Living out in the Arizona desert for thirty years has influenced everything I do. The spectacular night skies in the Sonoran Desert are a direct space portal. Through music we can enter that portal. None of my songs are ‘mixes’ of sample banks. All sounds are synthesizer-based modified patches or presets or created as new presets, lending to unique compositions.”

Reviews:
Love the album!
author: A German fan *****
“Consciousness Evolving” is an impressive journey into a deep world of unheard sounds. So much atmosphere! I love the huge dynamics into the songs. Sometimes they sounds mellow, one second later hard and stirring. Exemplary! One of my absolute favorites!

Art and its offspring are less about creating something than about making visible that which has always existed but which has not been available to our senses. Applied to the aural sphere, this music accomplishes exactly that: one gets the sense one has always “known” these works while realizing they are nevertheless “new,” revealed by the skill Jack Andrews brings to this art. A sense of pleasure at “recognizing” his music makes obtaining his album exciting and rewarding. These “opera” remove me from the tedium of the constant repetition of daily life events and allow me to indulge in new spaces, new moments, new sensations as seasoned as Creation itself. These are exciting children he has brought into my consciousness; yearning, fulfillment, pleasure, are all accessed thanks to his gift of musical revelation. Hardly intrusive, decidedly satisfying, I’m delighted to have “rediscovered” the vibrations Jack has unveiled. I thank him for his gift of this music.

“Tale of a comet” has the harmonius ebb and flow of the stars moving slowly accross the clear African night sky. “Space Riders” picks up the momentum and creates a sense of excitement and anticipation. This is truely relaxing sky-watching and deeply reflective music that resonates with my soul.These music tapestries are masterfully woven.
Hi Jack, Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your song The Orion Zone. I heard it on Gary David’s website. very very moving, inspiring, It raises me to incredibly higher levels of consciousness and peace. Orion Zone is a true masterpiece of creative music. Thanks, your work is brilliant ~ Phil, from Boston USA
Jack, listened to Electrokenesis and liked it very much. It has that 70′s SpaceMusic feel of T-Dream but with a very modern production, which is what I like. ~ Rick Rascati – Composer – Connecticut *****
