	Louis Andriessen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Louis Andriessen (born Utrecht: June 6, 1939) is considered to be the foremost Dutch composer working today.
		Andriessen originally studied with his father and Kees van Baaren at Royal Conservatory of The Hague, before embarking upon two years study with Italian composer Luciano Berio in Milan and Berlin.
		Andriessen's music is somewhat unique in contemporary European composition for being instantly recognisable as his own, both as a result of his choices of instrumentation as well as his style, which combines the strong influence of Stravinsky alongside American minimalism.

	Who is Louis Andriessen?
		Louis Andriessen is one of the most distinctive and influential composers working today.
		Andriessen was born in 1939 into a musical family: his father, uncle and elder brother were all composers.
		After graduating in 1962, Andriessen went to study with the Italian composer Luciano Berio, whose works combined strict serial techniques with a characteristically Italian lyricism and feeling for instrumental colour, and which often have a strong dramatic element, even in purely instrumental pieces.

	ECHO VI/2: Bloch
		Andriessen appears as a marginal figure in certain histories of institutionalized European avant-garde, by virtue of his engagement with popular music and rejection of any number of modernist orthodoxies.
		While demonstrating against Dutch bourgeois concert culture, Andriessen was also engaged in building up a new, potentially more progressive space for music-making, which would combine the didacticism and sense of play of political street theater, the participatory dynamics of a rock concert, and the seriousness of purpose of the classical concert hall.
		Andriessen juxtaposes [the minimalist passages] with music designed to establish the most tense of oppositions, oppositions that recognize the freedoms and harmony of a relaxed minimalist style to be illusory in present conditions.

		Andriessen trained with Luciano Berio, but it was the turbulent years of the 1960s that shaped him further.
		Andriessen was drawn to the classicism of Stravinsky, and despised the "autobiographical" style of romanticism, especially Mahler.

	Making Time - Eclectica Magazine -- Apr/May 2000
		Andriessen's musical monoliths are not only monumental, they are aurally assaulting.
		Andriessen's powerful monumental pieces (De Tijd (Time), 1981; De Snelheid (Velocity), 1983; De Materie (Matter), 1989; and De Staat (The Republic)) are similar to each other in the respect that each grabs onto a powerful idea, musically realizes it, and relentlessly drives it to its fullest conclusion.
		Andriessen's children are neither pathos-filled nor innocence-drenched; they are materially and simply children.

	Icebreaker - Discography: Terminal Velocity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Icebreaker's sound evolved from Andriessen's Hoketus, written for the ensemble of that name which he founded in the mid-1970s and scored for four keyboards and two each of panpipes, saxophones, congas, and bass guitars.
		What appealed about Andriessen was his sidestepping of both the scented-candle aura of American minimalism and the Angst-ridden confusion of much "serious" contemporary music in favour of a hard-edged rhythmic idiom - uncompromisingly loud, heavy on winds, keyboards and percussion,and distinguished by a clarity of thought and expression.
		This recording brings together (besides the Andriessen) four new works, all written for Icebreaker: Andriessen (b.1939) is joined by another established composer of the middle generation, this time from England, Gavin Bryars (b.1943); by the young New Yorkers Michael Gordon (b.1956) and David Lang (b.1957); and by ensemble member Damian le Gassick (b.1965).
