Quotes:
“A purely formal piece involving hands clapping in and out of time with a dynamite percussive riff which I allowed a very primitive audio synthesiser to generate all by itself. It was described generously by Tamara Krikorian as ‘transitional’. How right she was. From this point on I decided I wasn’t interested in any theoretical strictures that would limit the nature of my work, including if necessary working in other media than video. My work began to diversify and has remained diverse every since.” Mick Hartney, March 2008
