Friendly Piece

Andrew Hamilton joins Ensemble Klang in an extended line-up for his deeply personal work Friendly Piece, presented with new lighting design by Associate Maker with Ensemble Klang Pavla Beranova.

Andrew on his work:
“The sound of a bird’s wings flapping in Monaghan, a sacred text that helped so much to get through dark times, memories of a childhood obsession with “The Sound of Music” and much more are cut up and thrown into a grid to allow all these elements to intermingle – simplistic answers to be destroyed. Can music be kind? I set that as an impossible question at the beginning of the process, it is good to have no idea what you are doing sometimes. It allows room for freedom and the expanded heart to seep in when your back is turned.”
