Carl Michael von Hausswolff (Sweden, 1956) spent his formative years toying
with musique concrete and massive drones. Abandoning the electronic tape
format, he began an almost spiritual study of the essence of sound, of the
audio attributes of an event. This led to more and more abstract recordings:
Rays of Beauty (SubRosa, 1995),
Carl Michael von Hausswolff (Ash, 1997),
To Make Things Happen In The Bunker Via The Micro Way (Fire, 1997),
Basic (Table Of The Elements, 1999).
His main efforts were devoted to installations that organized space to
optimize his quest for the hidden particles of sound.
Inspired by the desire (and belief) to communicate with the otherworld via
the microsounds hidden in silence, as experimented in the installation
"Operation of Spirit Communication" (1998),
Von Hausswolff turned to glitch electronica and low frequencies with the
spectral soundscapes of
Stroem (Raster Noton, 2001), while still retaining an accessibility
that is unusual for that genre (echoes of Schulze's early cosmic music, of
Eno's romantic ambience).
A Lecture On Disturbances In Architecture (Firework Edition, 2002) is
an odd conceptual work that aims at promoting a new view of urban architecture,
one illustrated via poems of musique concrete that hark back to his beginnings.
The Wonderful World Of Male Intuition (Oral, 2006) sounds more like
a textbook than a piece of music. The music is interrupted by spoken segments
dedicated to influential musicians and theoreticians.
