After disbanding, in 1993, Andrews joined the genre-defying seminal acid jazz outfit <a href="spotify:artist:3G8x1XQX8nCXYouEfMrP07" data-name="The Greyboy Allstars">The Greyboy Allstars</a>, launching what has become a 30-year-long musical collaboration.
As chance would have it, Andrews started his film career with The Zero Effect as a group effort with Greyboy Allstars. He later moved on individually as a film and television composer with the cult NBC show Freaks & Geeks in 1998, and directly followed it up with another cult classic, Richard Kelly’s <a href="spotify:album:1mSv7EACPPrgNTlKDo32Kk" data-name="Donnie Darko (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)">Donnie Darko (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)</a>.

Andrews continues making personal music in the vein of his solo releases <a href="spotify:album:1Xzxkpsb1roAWtdGhStKcP" data-name="Hand On String">Hand On String</a> and <a href="spotify:album:7HoqDuhFCwFeE1XtbVEAKB" data-name="Spilling A Rainbow">Spilling A Rainbow</a>, writing and producing in collaboration with various artists, and composing for film and streaming media (full credits here).
