Catherine Christer Hennix
Catherine Christer Hennix (US/SE) (voice, computer, sine waves, electronics) is a composer, philosopher, mathematician and visual artist. In the 1960s and 1970s she worked with illustrious figures such as La Monte Young and Pandit Pran Nath who were very important for her own work. She has frequently collborated with the American anti-art philosopher, composer and violinist Henry Flynt. Hennix also drew inspiration from Japanese Gagaku music and the early vocal music of Perotinus and Leoninus. She was affiliated with MIT’s AI Lab in the late 1970s, working with Marvin Minsky. All her major compositions, including The Electric Harpsichord, are regarded as part of an ongoing, endless cycle. She lives in Berlin, where after a long hiatus she has recently started to perform in public again. She performs with The Choras(s)an Time-Court Mirage.
