Andrew Wasylyk

Andrew Wasylyk is the alias of Scottish multi-instrumentalist and composer Andrew Mitchell, whose lush, cinematic soundscapes have made him a standout figure in the UK’s contemporary instrumental scene. Hailing from Dundee, he’s woven his Scottish roots into his music, blending neo-classical piano, ambient textures, and jazz-inflected arrangements that feel both introspective and expansive. A seasoned collaborator, Wasylyk has played with acts like Idlewild and The Hazey Janes, but his solo work—including recent albums like *Balgay Hill: Morning In Magnolia* and *Parallel Light*—showcases his gift for evocative storytelling without words, often inspired by landscapes and the quiet magic of everyday moments.

His 2023 release *Balgay Hill: Morning In Magnolia* typifies his knack for translating place into sound, capturing the misty allure of Dundee’s Balgay Hill through shimmering orchestration. Recent tracks like *Hearing the Water Before Seeing the Falls* and *Ash Grey and the Gull Glides On* continue this tradition, balancing delicate melodies with a sense of widescreen wonder. Whether he’s crafting hushed piano reveries or layering brass and strings into grand crescendos, Wasylyk’s music feels like a love letter to the natural world—and proof that instrumental music can be as vivid as any lyric.
