Portrait Harpo 't Hart -

Harpo 't Hart (1985) is a jazz-piano graduate of the Conservatory of Utrecht. During his studies Harpo got involved in the free jazz/improv scene in Amsterdam playing at Zaal100 and the Bimhuis. Here he met theatre director Julie van den Berghe with whom Harpo collaborated on many plays as a composer and performer. For instance: Messen in Hennen (NTGent), Agatha (Muenchner Kammerspiele), Het Meisje dat te veel van Lucifers hield (NTGent, Frascati producties). Theatre was an outlet and a stage for his experiments in electronic music which he further developed in several sound installation works. These works sparked scientific questions that led him into research into the relation of sounds to physical things.
