Timothy Andres's debut album, Shy and Mighty, recently released on Nonesuch, is a Pick of the Week from WNYC's Soundcheck. Says host John Schaefer: "He’s a young composer but he seems to have already worked through his influences—the rock ones and the classical ones like Brahms, Mahler, and Philip Glass—and developed a personal voice. It’s an impressive debut from the composer Timothy Andres."
Timothy Andres's debut album, Shy and Mighty, recently released on Nonesuch, has been paired with LCD Soundsystem's latest, This Is Happening, as the Picks of the Week from Soundcheck, a program of New York public radio station WNYC. The two albums are matched as a work from "a classical composer inspired by rock and rock music inspired by electronic composers."
The host of Soundcheck, John Schaefer, says of Andres: "He’s a young composer but he seems to have already worked through his influences—the rock ones and the classical ones like Brahms, Mahler, and Philip Glass—and developed a personal voice. It’s an impressive debut from the composer Timothy Andres."
