11.09.24 Catherine Christer Hennix (1948-2023) memorial at Performance Space, NYC. For this memorial program, members of Hennix’s ensemble—Ellen Arkbro, Amir ElSaffar, Mattias Hållsten, Marcus Pal and Amedeo Maria Schwaller — presented Kamigaku in her absence, following the sonic ideals and performance practices that she specified - musicians should be allowed unrestricted space and time for them to be able to play (only) when they feel inspired and (only) for as long as they feel inspired.

Catherine Christer Hennix was a Swedish musician, poet, philosopher, mathematician and visual artist. As a musician, she worked with figures such as Pandit Pran Nath, La Monte Young, and Henry Flynt.

Field Perturbation Studies

<`•.°.+`•.•∆| - Field Perturbation Studies

The "Field Perturbation Studies" compositions are a generative sound art piece that explores the boundaries of time and frequency in a stereo field.

The work is generated using a system that creates randomly-sized dimensions, ranging from microsecond to multiple seconds. The dimensional vectors time range is shared across both mono channels, resulting in a temporally synchronized stereo field, although sonically isolated. Using only sinusoidal waves, the frequency range and slope of change, is conditionally generated from 1hz to 88,200hz, based on a variety of data points, and utilize aliasing to create a sweeping effect that reaches 44,100hz before reversing in frequency. The sound generated is also passed through a reverb UGEN with all parameters conditionally varied based on data points assessed in the duration of the dimensional vector, and the state of frequency shifted.

The compositions aim is to create a complex system, using relatively simple elements, and to use that complexity, in an attempt to overwhelm the listener's ability to articulate what is being heard. Ultimately leading the listener to a subconscious state of surrender, from a kind of exhaustion, or analytical fatigue. Playing off the natural tendency of people to attempt prediction of theﾠchanging pattern. Enveloping them in a dynamic, seemingly paradoxical cloud of both maximal and minimal qualities. The work is inspired by long-form artists such as ￉liane Radigue, Pauline Oliveros, La Monte Young, Yoshi Wada and Catherine Christer Hennix. As well as, other systems music pioneers like Maryanne Amacher, David Tudor, Iannis Xenakis, Florian Hecker, Yasunao Tone and Mark Fell. As well as a burgeoning modern scene, of like minded musicians, and artists exploring the very limits of temporal and audible perception. There is an included "Bonus Item" in the downloaded folder. With the compilation output of all 2,077 dimensional vectors in great detail for the "Field Permutation Study (Pointillistic)" composition.ﾠ

Bin über dieses Buch gestolpert. Ist das interessant für uns? In The Politics of Vibration Marcus Boon explores music as a material practice of vibration. Focusing on the work of three contemporary musicians—Hindustani classical vocalist Pandit Pran Nath, Swedish drone composer and philosopher Catherine Christer Hennix, and Houston-based hip-hop musician DJ Screw—Boon outlines how music constructs a vibrational space of individual and collective transformation. Contributing to a new interdisciplinary field of vibration studies, he understands vibration as a mathematical and a physical concept, as a religious or ontological force, and as a psychological determinant of subjectivity. Boon contends that music, as a shaping of vibration, needs to be recognized as a cosmopolitical practice—in the sense introduced by Isabelle Stengers—in which what music is within a society depends on what kinds of access to vibration are permitted, and to whom. This politics of vibration constitutes the hidden ontology of contemporary music because the organization of vibration shapes individual music scenes as well as the ethical choices that participants in these scenes make about how they want to live in the world.
