Robert Henke, born 1969, is a composer, sound designer, software
developer, installation artist and performer. His music has roots in
academic sound research as well as in club culture, and the result is a
body of work that is sophisticated yet accessible. Henke's musical and
performative work is about space and its exploration in different time
scales, it is about the impact of massive gestures and precisely shaped
details in the background. Many of his works can be perceived as
potentially endless sonic states inviting the audience to immerse
themselves completely for a freely defined amount of time.
Robert Henke releases music under his own name and as Monolake; his
performances and interactive installations have been shown at places
like the Tate Modern in London, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, MUDAM in
Luxembourg, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney. In 2007 his
work Layering Buddha received an honorary mention at the Prix Ars
Electronica. Robert Henke is one of the authors of the Ableton Live
music software, and teaches as professor for sound design at the
University of Arts in Berlin.
