Andy Hawkins (musician)
Andy Hawkins is a composer, record producer and guitarist from Missouri as well as a founding member of the band Blind Idiot God. He has also recorded as a solo artist under the moniker Azonic, releasing two experimental drone albums that were more abstract and feedback-based compared to his more structured work in Blind Idiot God.
==Biography==
Andy Hawkins was first motivated to play music at the age of thirteen when he discovered the ballet Firebird composed by Igor Stravinsky, which he claims to have opened his eyes to the boundless possibilities of music. While still a teenager, he formed Blind Idiot God with Ted Epstein and Gabriel Katz in 1982. They originally played a blend of hardcore and funk music before augmenting their sound to include dub, free jazz and classical music. In 1987, the band released their debut album, the eponymously titled ''Blind Idiot God'', to great acclaim in the underground musical community. Their second album and third album were produced by composer Bill Laswell and titled ''Undertow'' and ''Cyclotron'' respectively.
In 1994, Hawkins released ''Halo'', a solo album recorded with Bill Laswell and bandmate Gabriel Katz. Comprising four lengthy drone pieces, the album marked a departure from his recordings with Blind Idiot God.〔 It was well-received from a critical standpoint, with ''The Wire'' crediting it as an understated masterpiece of post-metal. Two Azonic tracks also appeared on ''Subsonic 3: Skinner's Black Laboratories'', a split with guitarist Justin Broadrick of Godflesh. Brian Olewnick of allmusic described Hawkins' work as a "fuzz-strewn maelstrom that would send most metal guitarists loping home, tail between legs."
After Ted Epstein left the band in 1996 and Gabriel Katz followed in 2012, Andy became the only original member still performing in Blind Idiot God. In 2014, he founded the Brooklyn-based label Indivisible Music, with the intention of "promot() that which cannot be divided, the elemental idea of music for its own sake." Blind Idiot God released ''Before Ever After'' on February 24, 2015, marking the band's first album of new studio material in thirteen years.
