Hi, I'm Andrew Hallock.

This website brings together my work as a musician and researcher, spanning performance, composition, and interdisciplinary study. It serves as a space where artistic practice and inquiry meet, and where ongoing projects are made publicly accessible. I am currently a doctoral candidate in the DocArtes program at the Orpheus Institute in Ghent, where my research explores connections between musical thought, historical material, and broader historical systems of representation and meaning. Here you will find fragments of this work in different forms: texts, recordings, reflections, and evolving research materials. The site is not organized as a fixed archive, but as a working environment that develops over time.

For a more detailed overview of my background and work, a CV is available here.

The Folded Map

"The Folded Map" is my doctoral research project at the DocArtes programme at the Orpheus Instituut in Ghent, and within the research cluster "Resounding Libraries" led by Dr. Bruno Forment. It explores polyphonic music as a way of thinking about the world. By tracing connections between musical notation, visual perspective, and early scientific models of reality, it investigates how different systems of representation shape what can be known, imagined, and shared. Working across historical repertoires and contemporary artistic practice, the project treats notation not simply as a record of music but as an active site of interpretation, negotiation, and invention. Through research, composition, and performance, it reopens questions about authorship, agency, and the nature of musical works themselves.
