When Monkeyland dissolved, Andy spend a few years engaged in mix media projects and worked on video and animation productions with one of Manchester's baggy bands - Inspiral Carpets and various other bands on the Mute label, but quickly returned to joining another band - 'Cannula', this time just playing guitars and producing.

In 2002, Andy began to produce tracks, alone under the name 'Heifervescent' and the debut album Hoofed and Dangerous was a big step back to naivety and pop sensibility, but with few twists and turns. The album received an enormous amount of plays with the growth of internet radio stations and music sites.

2003 brought the second album, Verbal Bandit, which was more folky, acoustic and raw. The difficult third album came in 2004 called Murder in the Garden which had more of a hard edge than previous albums.

The most successful and most listened to album came in 2005 and was called Pondlife Fiasco. As with all the Heifervescent albums, Pondlife Fiasco was released under a Creative Commons license and ensured that listeners could easily give the album a try. The album was one of the most listened to Creative Commons albums and continues to get many plays and downloads.

The Glue Factory album was put together a few years later from tracks that just didn't fit with any of the previous albums, and so is more of an eclectic mix.

In 2011, Andy re-recorded many of his early compositions from his days in 'Monkeyland' and released them in the shape of 'Further Adventures in Monkeyland'

As well as the Heifervescent works, Andy actively writes and records music for specific requirements - for film, video, motion graphics and advertising, recording all instruments and programming himself. Often described as a one man band, Andy often pushes the envelope a little further to become a one man orchestra and production suite.
