Testimonials

  • “As a filmmaker, one of the most important elements of any collaboration is having the right composer in your corner. I have had the great fortune of Andrew being in my corner. Whether I’ve been working on a documentary or narrative project, Andrew has provided me with the tools I need to tell my stories… which then become our stories. Your search for a composer should start and end here.”

  • “We have had the privilege of working with Drew for years now. He is our go-to composer. His versatility as a composer is unparalleled, as well as his empathy and compassion on creating just the right music for delicate, emotional moments. We also want to highlight him as a wonderful human, making the entire process of working with him, from spotting, to notes, to revisions, to the finished delivery, an absolute joy.”

  • “Andrew Edwards is a dreamy collaborator -- kind, smart, and wildly talented. I've been working with Andrew for the last decade and I turn to him first for all of my music needs. It doesn't really matter the genre or the task, he approaches the work with good humor and always delivers. I highly recommend him for literally any project on the face of the earth, but especially podcast projects and anything involving nerds.”

  • “For nearly a decade, Andrew M. Edwards has been an essential collaborator on all of my films. I consider the score the last chance the filmmaker has to shape the audience’s experience and Andrew is a true master of channeling the tone, tension and dramatic arc of a film to heighten and clarify every moment. From finding the unsettling pomp of a boys school grooming the next generation of closeted gay Republicans to conjuring the synthy terror of a destination wedding at a haunted summer camp, Andrew has never so much as flinched at the absurd curve balls I’ve throw his way and always knocked it out of the park.”
