Nice review of "Duets for Solo Snare Drum" today on Fluid Radio: http://www.fluid-radio.co.uk/2013/08/nick-hennies/ "Three quite conceptual works, then, yet throughout something remains that is not concept: call it sound, or performing presence, or whatever, it is clearly perceptual and affective ra...

Hi all, Today I am officially announcing the founding of a new label, Weighter Recordings and the inaugural release which will be available on September 1st. "Duets for Solo Snare Drum" features three works for snare drum by John Cage, Peter Ablinger and myself and each piece is a "duet" with a diff...

Just a quick note to say if you live in New England I might be pretty close to you soon. Performing my "Psalms" pieces (4 original pieces and Lucier's "Silver Streetcar for the Orchestra" for triangle) and for the last of the three shows also playing with Tim Feeney (percussion). 05 April 2012 - Phi...

today i am sending last 4 copies of this release to Erstdist- meaning that from today onwards the label doesn't have any copies left and that this release is Out Of Print ... you can still get probably some copies via distributors which can be found on this browsing this thread ... I have a limited...

well it looks like indietorrents is kaput (is it?) just wondering if anyone had any what.cd or waffles invites to give out. Thanks. Indietorrents is being moved to a new server and "will be back eventually" but has no ETA. Hopefully it's back soon. I have a couple what.cd invites but invites appear...

Surprised nobody has mentioned Jason Kahn yet; for me his discs "Miramar" and "Sihl" are milestones in the genre/style/whatever we're talking about (though he has plenty of other great releases, of course). It uses the sound world of Lucier's experiments with resonance and the physicality of sound i...

Insanely fast, I might add. I don't even have copies yet!

this is great news. nick, isn't this the piece you played in 2003 at ucsd? (iirc, you also played a radu malfatti piece at, like, two in the morning.) if so, i've been waiting to hear a recording of this for years. i absolutely loved it when i heard it. Yup, the same. I've been trying to get a reco...

Still holding out for Thomas Stiegler year myself.

nice! what are the percussion instruments in the "quartet"? i'll keep an eye out for this at best buy. I'll see if I can remember them all! The four players are all mostly in unison (or at least performing a similar type of activity) and always playing on the same instruments/type of material: tria...

One week from tonight!

In Spring of '02, Austin New Music Co-op performed our first large ensemble concert, which was centered around "Treatise," the 193-page graphic score by British composer Cornelius Cardew. On May 6th and 7th of this year, nine years later, NMC is interpreting Cardew's other mammoth masterpiece: "The ...

I haven't had a chance to work more with this yet because of a very busy work and rehearsal schedule right now. I got some very good advice from another engineer friend too who also suggested the use of omni mics rather than directional ones (among many other great ideas). I'll be sure to let you gu...

Reviewed in this week's Vital Weekly: http://www.vitalweekly.net/774.html "Very concentrated, very minimal, yet very rich. Once more an excellent release." Copies still available from Kendra Steiner Editions: http://kendrasteinereditions.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/kses-nick-hennies-and-venison-whirled...

Awesome, thank you very much.

I'm hoping some of you engineering and/or acoustics experts out there might be able to help me with something. I'm trying to record a long section of a piece that involves playing very high notes on the vibraphone at a pretty high volume. When I do this I can hear very pronounced lower difference to...
