Ilona Oltuski profiles Metropolis composer Timothy Andres after the Ecstatic Music Festival for Sequenza 21 on January 21, 2011.
“At the festival, pianist/composer Timo Andres performed his Everything is an Onion from his 2010 composition: It takes a long time to become a good composer, as well as Charles Ive’s The Alcotts from Piano Sonata No.2, at the Marathon. He is one of several performers who studied composition at Yale University. Like many of the festival participants, he is active in a broad spectrum of activities which make for a lifestyle of music. He, like many of his colleagues, likes to share his thoughts, articulated on his blog, as well as in person. We shared a coffee and a conversation in between performances.”
