Matthew Neil Andrews
Music editor Matthew Neil Andrews is a composer, writer, and alchemist specializing in the intersection of The Weird and The Beautiful. An incorrigible wanderer who spent his teens climbing mountains and his twenties driving 18-wheelers around the country, Matthew can often be found taking his nightly dérive walks all over whichever Oregon city he happens to be in. He and his music can be reached at monogeite.bandcamp.com.

That soaring line: Andy Akiho with Oregon Symphony

The composer and steel pan player discusses his new cello concerto, to be performed in October by Jeffrey Zeigler and OSO; recent recordings with Ian Rosenbaum and Imani Winds; his roots as a second-generation Japanese-American; and the drive to keep moving forward.
