Teufelsberg Domecast #12 Robert Henke by Robert Henke

About the artist : Robert Henke

Robert Henke is a composer, artist and software developer,
mainly known for his contributions to contemporary electronic
music and for his laser works.

His installations often change slowly over long periods of
time, and are specifically conceived or adapted for unique
locations. They include elements of intentional uncertainty,
resulting in endless variations. Most of them use laser
technology combined with sound to create unique audiovisual
experiences.

His musical work has a particular focus on rhythm, timbre and
color, and he is recognised as a pioneering explorer of
surround sound. His long term project Monolake, became one of
the key icons of a new electronic club culture emerging in
Berlin after the fall of the Wall.

For Robert Henke coding software to realise his works is an
integral part of his artistic practise. He is one of the main
creators of Ableton Live, a software which since its invention
in 1999 became the standard for music production and
completely redefined performance of electronic music. He
writes and lectures about sound and the creative use of
computers and held teaching positions at the Berlin University
of the Arts, the Center for Computer Research in Music and
Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University, and the Studio National des Arts Contemporains - Le Fresnoy, in Lille, France.

His installations, performances and concerts have been
presented at Tate Modern in London, the Centre Pompidou in
Paris, Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, Le Lieu Unique in
Nantes, PS-1 in New York, MUDAM in Luxembourg, MAK in Vienna,
Palazzo Grassi in Venice, the Art Gallery of New South Wales
in Australia, KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin,
STRP Biennale in Eindhoven, and on countless festivals
including Unsound, CTM, MUTEK, Sonar, New Forms Festival.
