about
Wim Henderickx [wɪm ˈɦɛndərɪks] (b. 1962 in Lier, Belgium - died December 18th, 2022 in Antwerp) was a Flemish composer based in Antwerp, Belgium. He studied at IRCAM, the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and the Darmstadt New Music Summer School and teaches composition at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Antwerpen and the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Henderickx's music is characterized by non-western elements, chiefly Indian classical music, raga and the rhythms of African music. It employs changing timbres and structures inspired by Eastern philosophy. He is influenced by Olivier Messiaen, Iannis Xenakis, Igor Stravinsky, György Ligeti and Béla Bartók. As a percussionist, he usually makes use of an extended arsenal of percussion instruments in his works, often calling for unusual instrumentation.
