Andrew Lang (he/him) is a composer & noisemaker living on Kaurna land in Adelaide, Australia. Taking elements from drone, shoegaze, and contemporary classical music, his work blends live and electronic instrumentation, field recordings, tape, found sounds, and live reamplification, often heavily processed to draw out unusual and unfamiliar characteristics to explore the illusory and emotional nature of sound.

Andrew has composed several full length solo records, in addition to works for films and live performance.

Andrew was also one of the participants in COMA's Sound Alliance Mentorship program, which paired emerging and established musicians from contrasting music fields. He was paired with improviser and saxophonist Derek Pascoe, culminating in a performance at the conclusion of the mentorship in 2018.

Andrew also hosts A Softer Landing on Duck! Radio, an occasional series highlighting gentle sounds from the worlds of ambient, folk, jazz, and choral music.

Performance

I perform in shows around Adelaide. I use a variety of acoustic instruments and tape machines, all processed through laptops and pedals.
In recent times I have also incorporated visuals with my live sets, sometimes generated through the music I'm playing.
