Snowdune is Sheffield / Rotherham (UK) based musician Andy Trigg who specialises in synth based  music with rock overtones and rock music, but produces and writes in several other genres too. My Soundcloud contains a diverse range of music but I've placed my synth tracks up first so delve deep to find more styles.

I don't use samples other than the odd vocal sample, everything is played on bass, guitars & keyboards or programmed in midi.
 
I've also produced and co-written with various other local musicians from Sheffield  including Sam from Stop Drop Robot, Danny Lowe from Rumpus / Loveboat / Big bad Wow, and Fourth City's Mat Hume. 

I've also remixed several other artist's work including some trance tunes, The Carnival of Thieves, and The Barsteward Sons of Val Doonican. 4 Snowdune tracks have been accepted on music libraries (Getty Music and Record-Play) for potential use in film, tv and adverts.

Please check out my main web site for more details. My music is laid out in a much more accessible form too over there.

I started as the bass player in a little band called The Only Fruit when I came to Sheffield as a student. This lasted for almost two years, and we did some cool gigs and recorded some ace demos. 
I then joined a band called AFID that played around the UK including a BBC Session, and we were part of Sheffield Sound City. We did a couple of tours and then our frontman left to do sound for Pavement!
Bolster followed, ex Bollweevils signed to Vinyl Solution. Three singles followed and a lot of fun packed touring.
The Better Ford Clinic was next – again lots of touring, recording and huge amount of silliness!
Jim Muir Slideshow followed. We had a single of the week in the Guardian with a track called London. We recorded an album that received a lot of national and international acclaim including amazing reviews in Uncut, Q and the Sunday Times. We toured the UK and Spain. Check Spotify for more…
obLONG was a lot of fun too. We released two EPS obLONG 1&2 – still available on iTunes, Spotify etc and were played on 6Music. We recorded at Club60 and with the legendary Ross Orton.
Colt – adventures in Rock’n’riot!
The Clear is a band I got together, we got a publishing deal and recorded a great little album. 
And now Ruiz! This is just me, on my own writing, producing, playing and singing everything.
Keep on keeping on! x

Ruiz! has been mixed by Paul Galpin

Size of a Planet, 
|
March 2020: As the UK went into it’s first national lockdown, a truly original project emerged - Size of A Planet. Nineteen diverse musicians, with a collective track record that includes World Music Awards, Grammy nominations, UK and US hit records, and credits with Joe Strummer, Richard Hawley, Jarvis Cocker, Florence and the Machine, Basement Jaxx, and many others. 
|
Originally conceived by guitarist/producer Bryan Day, the project was loosely based on a musical version of the family paper fold-down game, known to many as Consequences or Pass It On. Nineteen musician friends signed up to Bryan’s idea, whereby each recorded a musical idea and emailed it on to the next person, until eventually, 19 passes later, the initial idea returned to its owner, in glorious amalgamation. The Size Of A Planet project emerged as an innovative and resourceful way for them all to focus their talents into creating new original music, during a time of lockdowns with devastating consequences for many musicians across the world. 
|
The results are impressively coherent, while the musicians contribute a wide variety of instruments and vocal styles. Each musician’s contribution is sensitive to the needs of the song, while also flexing their considerable creative talents to come up with some truly original and inspiring tunes.
It is now time for the project to start to emerge into the light - Size of a Planet will be presenting their first EP on the Friday 23rd of April 2021 for you to judge for yourself.
