Andrew explores recordings of music by the contemporary French composer, Pascal Dusapin. His composing style is well known for its dynamic contrasts of tension and energy as well as his creative use of the technique of microtonality. He studied with Iannis Xenakis and Franco Donatoni and was greatly influenced by Varèse.
