Andy Pink specialises in sound and music composition for the arts.
He began work at London's Royal Court Theatre and progressed to freelance commissions from theatre groups including seminal companies such as Lumiere & Son and Station House Opera.
Andy has covered a broad range of assignments including work with English National Opera, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the first Native American Fashion Showcase at The Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
In 2004 Andy was commissioned by The Siobhan Davies Dance Company to compose the soundscore for 'Bird Song' which toured nationally and internationally to critical acclaim. Bird Song was part of the successful bid in July 2005 for the London Olympics in 2012 via the '40 Artists 40 Days' initiative organised by the Tate in London.
In 2005 Andy composed music for 'Imperial Borders', part of Mavin Khoo's 'Chandra Luna', designed the sound for Adam Cooper's 'Les Liaisons Dangereuse' in Japan and worked on a new R.O.H commission with Mem Morrison that explored the world of the childhood bully. The end of the year brought a collaboration with Gerry Pilgrim's Corridor group, a site specific work in Soho's Marshall Street swimming baths.
2006/7 saw Andy collaborating with composers Will Todd and Ben Dunwell on the soundscore for the opera 'Whirlwind'. The year also included writing the music for the launch of Mazda's new MX5 for The Imagination Group whilst Bird Song was chosen as part of the national curriculum for GCSE dance for 2006-9. 'Leftovers', a sound installation with Mem Morrison, took place in choice greasy spoon cafes throughout 2007/8.
Andy then worked with the Michael Clark Company on The Stravinsky Project, which toured internationally throughout 2008. 'SALT' was an installation over four floors of a disused salt factory for the Ruhr Triennale festival throughout the summer of 2008, for which Andy wrote the music and designed the sound.
More work with The Michael Clark company in 2009 followed by a collaboration with The Mem Morrison company resulting in 'Ringside' which tours to this day and is heading for Asia and Australia in March.
