Dreaming Hildegard Portfolio: The booklet comes with a CD of the music and images of paintings.
Dreaming Hildegard is a collaboration by Alex Coke and Christopher Hynes combining music and visual art. This portfolio contains a cd recording of Coke’s composition Dreaming Hildegard, images of the nine paintings inspired by the music, the creators’ notes, and a link to the animation of music and paintings by Martin Primanis. The portfolio is about 7 x 5.25 inches.
Inner Kingdom Portfolio: The booklet has archival prints of the five assemblages inspired by the dream, and statements by the artist and composer. The thumb drive with USB holds the musical composition Inner Kingdom with an animation.
The Inner Kingdom is a dream inspired tale brought to life through original music, art, and animation by Alex Coke, Christopher Hynes, and Martin Primanis. There are two handmade print versions of the collaboration: a booklet, approximately 5.5 x 3.75 inches and a larger format book, approximately 11 x 8.5 inches.
Dreaming Hildegard is the second in the series of collaborations between the musician and composer Alex Coke and myself. This time Alex started the collaboration by continuing his interest in tonal circles. and the music of the 11th century Mystic and visionary Hildegard of Bingen. Again Martin has created a video to accompany them. Please visit the dedicated page for access to the full animation and artist statements https://christopherhynes.com/dreaming-hildegard/
Dreaming Hildegard Studies: In these studies I was exploring different combinations and techniques that I used in the show. They are the smaller prototypes for the final pieces in the exhibit.
The Inner Kingdom is the first collaboration between musician and composer Alex Coke and myself. It is based upon a series of dreams I had in 2016. Alex took up the challenge of reinterpreting my assemblages into an innovative jazz ensemble and composed a suite of music featuring a string quartet and a jazz quintet. Martin Primanis created the animation for that score.
