Hennies, Sarah
Motor Tapes
Sarah Hennies (b. 1979) is a composer and percussionist whose work is concerned with a variety of musical, sociopolitical, and psychological issues including queer & trans identity, psychoacoustics, and the social and neurological conditions underlying creative thought. The booklet for this, her second New World recording, features an extensive and wide-ranging conversation with the composer, wherein Hennies discusses her compositional practice and how these three pieces-all in some way related to brain activity, specifically mood disorders and circadian rhythm-represent an important step in the evolution of her work
