Andrés Navarro García is a percussionist and sound artist. His work explores percussion in relation to space, objects, and the present moment. His approach begins with sound rather than music, with physical vibration rather than theoretical concepts.
In recent years, he has developed an artistic practice where the performative, the banal, and the sonic coexist. Improvisation and composition appear in his work not as separate methods, but as different ways of listening.
His career includes collaborations with dance and music companies, visual artists, performers, and musicians, as well as the creation of pieces for theatre, dance, and ensembles.
Originally from Murcia (Spain), he has been living in Brussels since 2017. He holds a master’s degree in percussion from School of Arts KASK & Conservatorium (Ghent), specializing in contemporary music.
His works have been presented at venues such as Q-O2 (Brussels), STUK (Leuven), Charleroi Danse, MUSICA (Neerpelt), AADK (Murcia), Logos Foundation (Ghent), and festivals like Agora Actual Percussio (Valencia), Roskot Festival (Aalst), Gentsche Fest Spiele (Ghent), among others.
He has collaborated with composers and musicians such as Hugo Morales Murguía, Stefaan Quix, Seijiro Murayama, Clara Levy, Lorena Izquierdo, Óscar Escudero, Ilaria Orlandini, José Nieto, Dick van der Harst, Lukas de Clerck, and Pedro Guajardo.
He has been a member or collaborator of ensembles such as Stefaan Quix & Het Quixtet, Quartette Prometeo, ZAMAN, Ensemble 21, Container Ensemble, La Monnaie/De Munt, BUBLE DANCE, among others. He has performed at venues and festivals such as Museo José Guerrero (Granada), Ars Musica (Brussels), Sala Verónicas (Murcia), Concertgebouw Brugge (Bruges), De Singel (Antwerp), Moers Festival (Germany), Palacio Almudí (Murcia), S.M.A.K. Museum (Ghent), Morphine Raum (Berlin), Festival Moers (Germany), and Festival Imaginarius (Portugal).
Rather than seeking a fixed identity, his practice focuses on inhabiting spaces, activating modes of listening, and finding new forms of relation — with sound, with others, with the world, and with what has yet to take form.
