He later joined the faculty of the Royal Conservatory. In 1969 Andriessen co-founded STEIM in Amsterdam.
Since the early 1970s he has refused to write for conventional symphony orchestras and has instead opted to write for his own idiosyncratic instrumental combinations, which often retain some traditional orchestral instruments alongside electric guitars, electric basses, and congas. Andriessen's mature music combines the influences of jazz, American minimalism, Igor Stravinsky and Claude Vivier.
