Meet our artists...
From small beginnings, we aim to bring new and exciting artists to our creative community
Driftworks plan to release small, limited editions on commercial Cdr and can offer mastering, design and submission for streaming platforms. Talk to us about what your music needs. For demo submissions, we welcome an email with a short bio and links to a private SoundCloud file.
If you have music you think we should hear, or simply just want to say 'hi', please use the contact form on this site to get in touch.
Andrew Heath
Andrew composes ambient, piano based music. Quiet and intimate, it explores sounds from both acoustic and electronic sources, along with processed field recordings and gathered, ‘found’ sounds. As well as many solo releases under his own name, he has collaborated with artists including legendary German musician, Hans-Joachim Roedelius, experimental electronic and classical composer, Christopher Chaplin, French ambient composer Christian Wittman and UK artists, Toby Marks (Banco de Gaia) and James Osland.
Andrew has also been commissioned to produce works for film and installations including ‘The Echoing Space’ for the National Trust house, Leith Hill Place and ‘As Above, so Below’ recently selected for the Trinity Buoys Wharf prize.
Peter Maynard
Peter Maynard is both a visual and a sound artist. He works with found objects and found sounds, creating perfectly sculpted soundscapes that are totally immersive.
Peter has a background in commercial illustration but was always drawn to the more fine art side of that work. His distinctive visual style shines through any medium from photography to collage and assemblage work. There are direct parallels between his approach to both his visual and sound work which is something that fascinates me about his music - through his use of field recordings, it becomes a very visual soundscape.
Glåsbird
Glåsbird is Lincolnshire, UK based artist Harry Towell who also runs Driftworks' sister label Whitelabrecs. Glåsbird was launched as an anonymous project in 2018 as Harry created an 8 album geography-themed series called A Sonic Expedition. This involved researching various far-flung locations and then creating a soundtrack inspired by the geography and culture of each of these places.
The Glåsbird sound adopts a modern classical aesthetic with the use of strings and piano, whilst also drawing influence from a more electronic Ambient sound. After concluding the A Sonic Expedition project Harry decided to reveal his identity as the artist. Driftworks is the first label outside Whitelabrecs to release Glåsbird's music.
