"
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 (featured on this recording). She was a professor of mathematics and computer science and assistant to and coauthor with
A. S. Esenin-Volpin
, for which she received the Centenary Prize-fellow Award from the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. 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
.
