Music

To date, the focus has mainly been on live - songs delivered in person, and the few recordings delivered hand to hand: All of us in the same room together. 2025 will see some work become more available online.

Before the Walls Fell (EP, Official Print) is available at live shows or by direct order. Recorded in Scotland and released within a beloved music venue (once run by Andrea) just before its walls were hacked down, this EP holds 4 of Andrea’s songs in their barebones raw form - skeletons with eyelashes.

Recorded with Tim Matthew at Red Oktober in Edinburgh, Scotland. (Andrea first met Tim when he came through her former venue as tour manager & sound engineer, returning again a year later with a yet another act). Full circle fitting, then, to have released this EP in that venue as well - just before its walls fell.)

Contributions by Tim Matthew (percussion / drones / electric guitar) & Shetland’s Floortje Robertson Matthew (vocals).

Cover art by Dutch artist Madelon de Maa. (Andrea stumbled upon an original of the artist’s work at her friend / sometimes  gig-partner Roli Frei’s home.)

Graphic design by Basel’s own Andreas Hidber (of Accent Graphe) who, 7 years later, would become one third of SAMBORSKI. (Full circle again.)

Songs (all lyrics included) are:

Lay Your Head Down

We Go Down

Tiger Lilies

Still Sleep Naked

Fourteen Days (From Andrea’s kitchen, Basel. Recorded by Gordon Bell & Stefan Reinhardt.)

Blood & Moon (Captured in Brücke 49's empty breakfast room, amidst the Valser mountains. Lockdown, Spring 2020, Graubünden, Switzerland.)

The Parliament of Crows  (From Andrea’s kitchen, Basel. Recorded by Gordon Bell.)

A Simple Song (from Andrea’s former kitchen, in Kleinbasel. Recorded by Gordon Bell.)
