Saturday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – Tonight at Cine Odeon, German composer, musician, artist, engineer and programmer Robert Henke will present his newest project “Lumière II” live as part of the ongoing 2015 edition of Live Cinema.
In his various installations, Henke creates art through the formation of music and sounds by machines combined with moving lights and their reflections on different shapes and structures to reveal the relationships between space and sound.
“Lumière II” premiered in Paris in February earlier this year and is a further exploration of Henke’s original installation “Lumière,” which debuted in 2013.
In addition to his installations, Henke is one of the main designers of the popular Ableton Live music software and a founding and former member of the Monolake project. He is well-known for building machines like the Monodeck MIDI controllers and for software like Ableton Live, Max for Live and the Granulator for Max for Live devices.
