Andsome Friends is an Australian a cappella group formed in 2009 in Sydney to
record and perform Miguel
Heatwole's
original compositions and arrangements. Two
pieces, written
by Terry Clinton, feature the vihuela da mano* but otherwise the music
is all unaccompanied.
We supply tuneful
answers to some of the important philosophical
questions of our time. How many medieval TV themes from popular culture
can a group sing simultaneously? What would Palestrina have written for
the Hunters And Collectors? Is it wrong to sing Irish slip jigs with
Australian words? The songs are contemporary but there is
a good measure of the past in our sound. Our fugue about
environmental waste minimisation is unashamedly Baroque.
Based in Sydney, the group's members
have been (or still are) involved in other high-quality vocal groups:
Ecopella, Touchwood, FAMS Musical Theatre, Vox
Humana, Cloud Ten, and the Fossickers.
* an early forerunner of the guitar.
