Music is the
foundation of life.
Beautiful and joyful
music is made by nature
each day to let us know
she is still alive and
well. When nature allows
her off-springs to be
heard by way of sound
duplication, known to us
as musical composition,
she expects us to
translate her beautiful
modifications in the
best way known to the
heart. Vibrational vibes
brings to you the best
on the market in healing
ambient and natural
music that heals the
soul.

Robert Henke, born 1969 in
Munich, Germany, builds and
operates machines that create
sounds, shapes and structures.
Coming from a strong
engineering background, Henke
is fascinated by the beauty of
technical objects, and developing
his own instruments and
algorithms is an integral part of
his creative process.

available software. His long term
musical project Monolake,
founded in 1995, became one of
the key icons of a new electronic
club music culture emerging in
Berlin after the fall of the german
wall.
Robert Henke is also one of the
main creators of the music
software 'Ableton Live', which
since its invention in 1999
became the standard tool for
electronic music production and
completely redefined the
performance practice of
electronic music.

recordings, photography and
light; transformed, re-arranged

rules, real time interaction and
controlled random operations.
Robert Henke's work has a
particular focus on the
exploration of spaces, both
virtual and physical. Many of his
works use multiple channels of
audio or are specifically
conceived for unique locations
and their individual spatial
properties.

He writes and lectures about
sound and the creative use of
computers, and held teaching
positions at the Berlin University
of the Arts, the Center for
Computer Research in Music and
Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford
University, and the Studio

Unique Nantes, PS-1 New York,
MUDAM Luxembourg, MAK
Vienna, the Art Gallery of New
South Wales in Australia, and on
countless festivals.

The results include music on the
edge of contemporary club
culture, surround sound concerts,
compositions in the tradition of
academic computer music,
audiovisual installations, sitespecific sound art and publicly
