MONA FOMA crush #1 - Pierre Henry
Paroxysms World Premiere.
Picture a really angry Santa wearing a maroon velour jumper, sitting in Paris, in a house filled with sound equipment, mixing and streaming to Hobart a cacophony of layered and manipulated samples and beats. Then picture 1000 people inside a giant shed, listening to this music through 26 speakers placed both in front and behind them. To that, add Robin Fox, mixing the streamed music live.
Pierre Henry is 85 years old.
He made my stomach reverberate; he made me want to be still amongst a swarm of bees; he made me want to dance.
