I am Andrew Heathwaite. I decided to update my profile, since it was very old and out of date. |

Andrew Heathwaite is me. I am a dad, husband, experimental human, and sometimes maker of music. Since the early 2000's, I've had periods of high microtonal activity, and periods of none. I owe a lot to Jacob Barton, who has inspired me countless times and been my collaborator on such projects as Oddmusic Urbana-Champaign and the Xenharmonic Praxis Summer Camp, where I was a teacher back in the day. I've experimented with supergluing wire frets to produce homebrew microtonal instruments (a la Dante Rosati), although I confess when the frets started falling off, I got discouraged and walked away from that. I used to play 22-tone guitar, 88cET guitar, and a 20-tone JI dulcimer refretted that way; also cümbüş, a fretless Turkish lute, with a special focus on 17edo; and a 31-tone bouzouki refretted by Ron Sword. But I don't have those instruments anymore.
Now (2025), after some years of no-music, followed by some years of 12-only music, I am back to occasional microtonal forays, with the intention at least to contribute this year to the Scale of the Month Club. I don't anticipate getting super involved in the microtonal community or taking on any sort of teacherly role (other people are much more committed and up on things than me), but it's nice to be involved again, even if just a little bit!
