When Timothy Leary famously told a generation to “tune in, turn on, and drop out” a journalist asked him what to do next. His answer? “Find The Others.”

Andy Sheppard dropped out of the conventional singer/songwriter world and tuned into more intriguing songs, mysterious lyrics, and mesmerizing visuals to create a vivid musical experience called Find The Others. A Find The Others performance is a feast for the ears and eyes, with synchronized visuals bathing the performers in light and colour. The Halifax Pop Explosion calls it “one of Canada’s most spellbinding live shows.”

The project was born out of connections with other forward- thinking artists and has led to collaborations with Valgeir Sigurdsson (Bjork), Olivier Alary (Cat Power), Jorn Anderson (Peter Gabriel), Mark Mariash (Royal Wood), Joshua Van Tassel (Great Lake Swimmers), Snowblink, and others.

Empire of Time was produced by Valgeir Sigurðsson – an Icelandic producer who was worked with groups such as Sigur Rós, Björk, Feist, and Tim Hecker.
