Patrick Morehead PodcastThe Music of Samuel Andreyev | Between Mediums w/ Patrick Morehead Ep. 5Samuel Andreyev is a composer based in France who is known for creating unique pieces for unique instruments. He composed songs as a teenager that were very experimental in nature but would come to a slight halt when he would decide to attend the Paris Conservatory. He trained as a composer but would still nurture his love for photography, poetry, and songwriting as well as composition. His main interest now is making compositions for various groups and individuals. He joined me in conversation about his music and the arts in general. Enjoy!
