Interview: Composer, Percussionist Sarah Hennies on Her New Duet The Reinvention of Romance, Her Working Process, and Teaching at Bard
“I’m in my second year of teaching history of electronic music, and it’s been really fun to develop a syllabus for that that encompasses all of these things that I just never, ever would have encountered in a class at either of the schools I went to, even though one of them was a very progressive experimental school. But nobody was telling me about Kool Herc or Coil or Tangerine Dream or any of these more DIY underground, nonacademic things that, to me, are just as important as the West German Radio Studio [for Electronic Music]. I really like it quite a lot, despite being a very hesitant academic. Bard is a very peculiar place with a really diverse array of students. So the program that we’re in is not at all like a typical music school program. I feel really at home there.”
