“Listening to the music of the Chora(s)san Time-Court Ensemble is a truly
psychedelic, mind-altering experience of powerful pitch combinations and surges.
As deep and heavy as the 1960’s recordings of La Monte Young’s Theater of Eternal Music, but full of Hennix’ own musical and mathematical genius.” – Marcus Boon
