The Canadian composer, pianist and percussionist Andrew (Andy) Creeggan is equally at home in the worlds of classical composition and pop music. A member of the wildly successful Canadian band Barenaked Ladies from 1989 to 1995, he experienced fame early in life. Deciding that being a member of a band was not for him in the long run, he left to study composition at Montréal's McGill University. Since then, he has recorded and performed in The Brothers Creeggan, a band formed with his brother Jim Creeggan, and released three CDs of his compositions: Andiwork I, II and III (order from Bongo Beat Records). In addition, he has composed chamber music and worked as an arranger.Musical excerpts, in order of appearance:• Viola n° 5 (from Andiwork II)• Tongue A (from Andiwork III)**SUPPORT THIS PODCASTPatreonDonorboxORDER SAMUEL ANDREYEV’S NEWEST RELEASEIridescent NotationLINKSYouTube channelOfficial WebsiteTwitterInstagramEdition Impronta, publisher of Samuel Andreyev’s scoresEPISODE CREDITSPodcast artwork photograph © 2019 Philippe StirnweissSupport the show
