THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT: Andy Baylor
CD Released 2001

Andy Baylor, Melbourne musician of renown, has his roots in the inner- urban art movement of seventies’ Melbourne and has spent the last forty years honing his unique musical talents. Never having been drawn to mainstream commercialism, Andy has travelled the back roads of popular culture seeking knowledge and inspiration from many forgotten sources. Drawing on America’s great 20th century legacy of popular music and his own Australian roots, Andy has created a new individual voice combining instrumental virtuosity on several instruments with a strong sense of place and history.

The Butterfly Effect is a collection of original songs co-written with poet Nicholas Langton. It explores themes of modernity, alienation, with a lyrical sense of social realism. Even though it is a moody work, this release is Andy’s most original and mature work to date
