Cloudburxt: Capturing Life's Fleeting Beauty with “This Moment”

Andrew Jonathan began his musical journey at the tender age of 13, using songwriting as a sanctuary during challenging times. For him, music is more than just a craft; it’s a way to process life's experiences, express emotions, and navigate the complexities of existence. This intimate relationship with music is evident in his work, where every note seems to echo the vast, untamed wilderness that he so deeply loves. “I’ve always found solace in music and the wilderness,” says Andrew. “Both fuel my passion, and I strive to share that with others through my art.”

Cloudburxt's sound is an eclectic blend, shaped by a diverse range of influences that span various genres and styles. Andrew draws inspiration from artists like Bon Iver, Glass Animals, Milky Chance, and Leon Bridges, weaving their eclectic sounds into a unique tapestry that is distinctly his own. His music, much like the wilderness he cherishes, is expansive and full of life—each song a journey through landscapes both familiar and uncharted.

“Soulfully blending life's struggles with the great wilds of outdoor adventures.”

“This Moment,” set to release on August 16th, is a reflection of Andrew’s ethos—a song that speaks to the importance of living in the present. Written as a love song for his wife and a personal reminder, the track captures the delicate balance between life's challenges and its breathtaking beauty. “It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking we have endless opportunities to make things right, but in truth, all we have is this moment,” Andrew explains.

Recorded in his home studio, the creation of “This Moment” was a special experience. The song came to life in just two hours, a rare instance where, as Andrew describes, “the song seemed to write itself.” The resulting track is both a poignant reminder and a musical embodiment of the fleeting nature of time—a gentle nudge to cherish each moment as it comes.

Andrew's creative pursuits extend into the world of film and photography. Alongside his wife, he co-runs Film & Forest, a venture that blends their love for the wild with their talents behind the camera. Their work as photographers and videographers is an extension of the same passion that drives Andrew's music—a desire to capture the beauty and raw emotion of the world around them. The Road Ahead
