about

"Sisters"by Sarah Hennies is a two-part work that explores the psychoacoustic properties of one of the most underrepresented instruments of our time: the vibraphone. Learning and performing this piece has been a profound bonding experience between me and a fantastic Musser Century M-75 vibraphone, known to some as "Golden Boy." Headphones recommended.
Thanks to Vicki for Golden Boy, Katy for the interface, Matt for the mics, and most of all to Sarah for writing the piece and allowing me to post it here.

Sarah Hennies is a composer whose work is concerned with a variety of musical, sociopolitical, and psychological issues including queer and trans identity, love, intimacy, psychoacoustics, and percussion. She is primarily a composer of solo and chamber works, however she is also active in improvisation, film, and dance. Her ten years of exploration of the vibraphone has resulted in a body of work that redefined the sound and capabilities of the instrument with works such as Live Fleas (2018), Sisters (2018), Settle (2012), and Gather & Release (2015).
