// bio

Andy Ingamells is an experimental musician who develops unusual methods of composition that blur the line between composer and performer. His work is rooted in traditional elements of music-making and classical concert conventions, but implemented in a different way, often through physical actions. He takes inspiration from the playful Fluxus text scores of Yoko Ono and the musical storytelling of Robert Ashley. His work has been performed in the Handel & Hendrix House Museum and Cafe OTO in London, the Orgelpark and Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam, ausland in Berlin, Walled City Festival in Derry, Birmingham International Dance Festival, London Contemporary Music Festival and Cheltenham Music Festival. Ensembles that have performed his work include Kirkos, Apartment House, Orkest de Ereprijs, House of Bedlam, Bastard Assignments, The Hermes Experiment, soundinitiative, BLOCK4, Ensemble x.y and Mocrep. In 2019 he formed a collaborative partnership with Dublin-based composer Seán Clancy.

Andy is a graduate of the Master Artistic Research programme at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. In 2017 he completed a PhD at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire supported by the AHRC Midlands3Cities Doctoral Training Partnership with the aim of his research being to develop an expanded compositional practice. He lectures in composition at Cork School of Music.
