Catherine Christer Hennix (1948–2024) was a Swedish composer, mathematician, and artist whose work merges minimalism, just intonation, and mystical thought. A close associate of La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela, she developed a rigorous, long-duration approach to sound and harmonic perception. Her drone piece Solitone unfolds as a precisely tuned, continuous harmonic field where interacting frequencies create subtle beating patterns and a deeply immersive listening space, inspired by the stability of “soliton” waveforms.
