THE STORY OF DARK WORLD & ANDY CONDON
london/toronto
Andy and I went to Fanshawe College together in 1976/77
Creative Electronics became Music Industry Arts that year
a brief window of opportunity
I can maybe count a handful of people (outside family)
who I can say I've 'loved' unconditionally
Andy was one of them for me - so musical
and an elevated grasp of physics/acoustics
Super smart guy - the antithesis of 'cool'
but an enigma nonetheless
Great ear. He loved Night Parachuting
and wanted to master it at Soundfield, Toronto
as a gesture of our friendship
for free
We played in 2 bands together in school earlier on
tall, lanky/thin, quiet/reserved - dirty brown hair to his waist
personal hygiene was sketchy and he had a creepy laugh
like he already knew what you were thinking before you were
Andy was a functional drummer; kept good time/nothing frilly
and brilliant on so many levels - sneaky, inspiring
funny
Becoming a gifted acoustician/audio mastering engineer
and facility designer post grad, having designed sound/acoustical
at several renowned concert venues - collaborations/participations
including Roy Thompson Hall, Wintergarden Theatre & Danforth Music Hall
Health issues kicking in early. Andy spent the last 7 years of his life
bed ridden - the potential still staggers me
I have some very fond memories of a friend
I will never forget.
for Andy
Andrew Condon
Dec. 1954 - Nov. 2016
