He’s only been into sound and music. He liked circular objects and the motion that the turntables had. He uses the example of the bike to refer to movement and how can it take you to different places.
CIRCLES – CYCLES – BALANCE
“Thinking about space and how can we use them.” Andrew talks about how he had to embrace spaces as places to perform artistically. He showed us a video where he tested the acoustics of his atelier with marbles – Andrew suggests, again, movement as the anchor point to provoke change. I moved the marbles; therefore, it made a rhythmic sound. He proceeded by showing us a video recorded in 2019 in Amsterdam, where he films a still shot of a park road, where multiple bikes cross by, suggesting its constant musical and rhythmical capabilities. This piece can be explored in so many ways. You can see and feel the rhythm with different tonalities.
“I’ll ask everyone to put their hands over your ears and just listen for 30 seconds. What do you guys get?”
“We are speakers and listening devices.”
Andrew also has done a lot of research into improvisation and conversation in the improvisatory 1:1 exchange part of the BT_3 Residency program at Beaconsfield Gallery 2021. “I asked Shabaka Hutchings a question, and he would respond in the clarinet”. “I don’t know how to explain, but this was a very healing experience.” https://beaconsfield.ltd.uk/b_t3-andrew-pierre-hart-11-exchange-w-andrew-hart-video-reports/
