renderedextract My humanities professor showed me this piece and i cannot stop coming back to it. Something deep and alluring of this piece keeps me wanting more. Absolutely one of my favorite cuts from last year.

yvette the doll Sarah’s music changed my life. This work is spell-binding and I can’t wait to listen on vinyl :)

Jakub Knera Loops are key here, digging around in the disintegrating pattern, or simply routine. This repetitiveness, recurring echo, and transformations, from which Hennies managed to distil their essence and beauty, can be perceived when you take in the album as a whole.

about

“The Reinvention of Romance,” a new work for percussion and cello that examines the care and empathy that emerge when two lives share space. Over the course of 90 minutes, a series of repeating patterns creates a peculiar kind of harmony in which two musicians are rarely “playing together” but are nonetheless intimately bonded. The Knoxville-based duo Two-Way Street (Ashlee Booth and Adam Lion) commissioned Hennies to compose “a very long piece;” for this recording they step into its two intertwining roles.
