Robert Henke's Bio [From Monolake's Official Site]
I was born 1969 in Munich, moved to Berlin in 1990 and studied sound engineering and computer science. My work is about the exploration of time, of space, and of rhythm and sound. Where does structure begin? What is needed to turn some noises into music? How much change over time is desirable for a given musical idea? How does a sound redefine physical and mental spaces?
I create music that needs attention and focus, that slowly builds up intricate and fragile structures, morphing timbres constructed of millions of microscopic sonic particles, cathedrals of filtered noises, dynamic and dramatic processes which grab the listener and throw them into a new state, or music that is almost invisible, floating around like air, music that grows when performed live using multiple channels of audio.
I also create music people can dance to, music people want to experience also with their bodies, massive rhythmical structures, temporary sonic architecture with carefully choosen textures, shimmering details, constantly breathing and pulsating objects in time. Highly repetitive music in which is nothing is static and which wants to exist as a state rather then a story, music which is the result of an intense occupation with detail and which still leaves enough room for interpretation. Music which improves if played loud over giant speaker stacks.
Most of my works aim for a timeless state, once the technical process is set up all I need to do is controlling that process, manipulate the appearance of something which could exist for ever. I could interact with my work by myself or I could define an interface allowing other people to interact. I create interactive network performances, allowing me to interact with other musicians via the internet, while projecting the interface and make it transparent to the audience.
Technology
I build my own tools, my own hardware and software instruments. Since the very beginning I am involved in the development of the most successful commercial music software today, Ableton Live. I am fascinated by technology as a medium for artistic expression. Technology fuels inspiration. Art inspires technological development.
