Video - Phosphor

For last year's edition of Roma Europa Festival in Rome, Italy, Robert Henke developed a new laser installation - Phosphor - and finally a great video of it is online! The installation piece will be shown again later this year, details to be announced soon.

From Within...

After almost one and a half years of work and preparations, things are starting to come together nicely: 'From Within....', the collaborative concert piece by Marko Nikodijevic and Robert Henke, a commission by legendary contemporary music performers Ensemble intercontemporain, is starting to become reality. It is a work for an ensemble ( including a lot of percussions! ), computer generated sound, real time audio processing and a LED sculpture created by Robert Henke specifically for the project. The electronic sound will be diffused using a state of the art 65 loudspeaker system driven by a newly developed wave field synthesis algorithm, provided by the legendary computer music research center in Paris, IRCAM. The premiere of 'From Within....', will happen on June 8 at Citè de la Musique in Paris. Expect more photos, videos and text online as we get closer to finalise the project.

For the time after the premiere of 'From Within...'

...already a lot of new projects are in the making, including installations and special performances. Details to be announced soon. Last not least: for the second half of 2018 we are offering an intern position: for a student with electronics skills ( soldering, digital / analogue circuits ... ). Get in touch if you are interested.
