085 - Negotiating Place Through Sound

Andrew Noseworthy traces his musical awakening not through the classical canon, but through a convergence of Internet-driven discovery, progressive rock, and contemporary composition encountered almost simultaneously. As a teenager, Bartók, Stravinsky, and George Crumb arrived not as historical figures, but as living forces refracted through bands like King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer—music that felt continuous rather than divided by genre or era. Growing up in extreme isolation meant absorbing ideas from afar, building an identity shaped as much by imagined scenes as by physical places. Over time, this evolved into what Andrew describes as an acceptance and rejection of locality: deeply influenced by the places he’s lived—Labrador City, St. John’s, New York, Toronto—yet equally defined by post-regional networks sustained through the internet. His work reflects a life formed both by place and in resistance to it, navigating belonging, distance, and continuity in a musical world no longer bound to geography.
