Composer and saxophonist Matthew Evan Taylor releases the first installment of his Metropolis Ensemble-commissioned five-part series The Unheard Mixtapes on September 29 on New Amsterdam Records. Mixtape 1, entitled Follow to the End, begins a plaintive and epic odyssey in which Taylor explores, and ultimately achieves, the fraught goal of being himself. He boldly states in his notes for the project: “I am Matthew Evan Taylor, a musician who composes; a composer who performs; a performer who improvises. I am all of these things and more. The Unheard Mixtapes are my manifesto.”
