Thoughts of Empathy – Video
WHENEVER I FEEL
The Video Clip was created to support the release of the compilation album Andrew Muecke 1991 – 2020: A Collection. WHENEVER I FEEL is Track 7 on the album and the video source material has come from Prelinger. Released September 2021.
========================
Other Material
Andrew wrote and produced this special one-off song and video in late 2018 called “What Is The Opposite of Life?”.
It was done to celebrate his parent’s life together after his father’s passing from Dementia in 2017.
========================
Solo Live
Although Andrew has done a lot of live work as part of the bands he has been in (particularly At Random), live solo bass shows have occurred only rarely. In the early 2000’s he played a solo bass show as part of the “Marion Square Eyes” series of events at the newly opened Marion Cultural Centre.
In 2002, Andrew played both a solo bass show and a second show with a bongo player as a feature for the opening of a new Adelaide art gallery called “Evolution Art”.
========================
Production Commissions
From 1999 to 2001 whilst Andrew was working with Sherwell Studios, he produced a number of acts. Here are some details about those production commissions.

Hello, I like particulary Thoughts of Empathy album. Congrats! Could you tell me more about two sculptures on the album cover foto. Is it a traditional artworks or modern one?
Very best,
Zorica Civric
Hi Zorica, thanks very much for your message and kinds words.
The sculptures on the cover are definitely modern ones. I bought them in the late ’90’s, on the Gold Coast (Queensland, Australia). This was at what is called the Carrara markets – I visited that particular stall a number of times as they had really authentic looking pieces (imported from various parts of Asia from memory), and I was trying to design parts of the house with that look and feel.
When it came to staging that photo, it felt like the most appropriate image to set up. I wanted it to have spiritual connotations, as I had genuine hopes that people would find the music conducive to thinking about the world in which we live. Lofty ambitions, I admit, but it felt right. Kind regards, Andrew
