"
She has created a sound that reliably taps into our subconscious and frees us from linear time
" --The Quietus. Catherine Christer Hennix (born 1948 in Stockholm) is an artist, poet, composer, and philosopher with a strong interest in logic and formal music theory. In late-1960s Sweden, she was a pioneer of experimenting with mainframe computer-generated composite soundwave forms, and in the 1970s she was a key protagonist of the Downtown School along with
La Monte Young
and
Henry Flynt
, with whom she has collaborated on numerous occasions. She pursued studies with master vocalist
Pandit Pran Nath
and led the just-intonation live electronic ensembles
Hilbert Hotel
and
The Deontic Miracle
. Hennix's interest in drone music and the meditative, trance-like state it induces is apparent in her exploration of similar music in many other cultures and traditions, including, for example, Japanese gagaku music and the 13th-century vocal music of
Pérotin
and
Léonin
. In 2003 she returned to computer-generated composite soundwave forms or "soliton(e)s," of which
Infinitary Composite Sound Wave Form Composition Soliton(e) Star
(2003-present) was the first result. She subsequently formed the Choras(s)an Time-Court Mirage just-intonation ensemble; in 2012, Important Records released a performance by this ensemble of "Blues Dhikr Al-Salam (Blues Al Maqam)" as
Live At The Grimm Museum Volume One
(IMPREC 354CD). In 2012 Henry Flynt asked Hennix for a new, expanded realization of an "Illuminatory Sound Environment" for an installation at the ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany, for his "Henry Flynt. Activities 1959 --" exhibition. In response Hennix realized a four-channel composition,
Rag Infinity/Rag Cosmosis
, her first four-channel computer-assisted composition since 1969.
