About the Artists

Carl Michael von Hausswolff: Audio-visual Compiler

Composer, artist, curator, conceptual constructor, evolver, resolver, designer, resigner, father, husband and survivor. Carl Michael von Hausswolff was born in 1956 in linköping, sweden. He lives and works in stockholm. He is the founder of Radium 226.05, Anckarström, Elgaland-Vargaland and freq_out (freq_wave).
Main collaborator with Erik Pauser (PHAUSS), Leif Elggren (KREV), Jónsi (Dark Morph) and Michael Esposito (EVP). Collaborations with The Hafler Trio, Jim O’Rourke, Joachim Nordwall (Sins For Beginners), Leslie Winer, Mark Fell, Graham Lewis and Jean-Louis Huhta (OCSID), John Duncan, Mika Vainio/Pan sonic/Erkki Kurrenniemi, Tommi Grönlund/Petteri Nisunen, Freddie Wadling/Henryk Lipp, Ulf Bilting, Zbigniew Karkowski and others.
His main interest lies in the unknown. Electronic voice phenomena, energy pattern prints and chronophysical delays and remnants. His secondary interest lies within the regions of humanimal social contact, development and structure. His third interest is the development of relations between pure abstract electronic sound and membrane captured sonic emissions of micro- and macro-structures. Von Hausswolff’s music has been performed throughout europe and in north america and asia in festivals such as sonar, electrograph and I.D.E.A.L. in these concerts a very physical, almost brutal side of hausswolff’s aesthetics has blended with a droned and polyfrequential beauty.
Von Hausswolff’s audio-visual art has been featured in several biennials such as Venice, Istanbul, Johannesburg, Liverpool, Moscow and Santa Fé as well as in documenta in Kassel and his sound-art has been released on vinyl and CD through labels such as Touch, Raster-Noton, Laton, iDeal, Sähkö, Pomperipossa, Die Stadt, Firework Ed., SubRosa and others.

Mauricio Reyes: Curator/Coordinator

Mauricio Reyes, American, was born in México City. His career has alternated between music and fine arts. He studied music composition and theory at the National School of Music in Guanajuato, México where he learned about the work of theorists such as Iannis Xenakis and Bruno Maderna. A fascination with the work of Luigi Russolo pushed him to experiment with non-musical objects to produce interesting sounds. Without a means of remixing these, he joined “Open Notes” the radiophonic experimentation workshops at the International “Cervantino Festival”. Fascinated by the possibilities of digital media, he experimented with multiple recordings playing at once, as well as playing them in reverse. In 2004 he started producing music for other artists. To have absolute creative freedom, in 2006 Reyes launched Telekinett Records, which operated from 2006 to 2009. It was a label devoted to the preservation, study, and promotion of experimental, atonal, electronic, and electro-acoustic music. During this first phase of Telekinett Reyes collaborated with artists Mika Vainio and Z’EV, among others.
He relaunched Telekinett in 2020, and during the global pandemic, Reyes developed the “9 Beet Stretch 2.0” project, a 24-hour electroacoustic symphony derived from Leif Inge’s “9 Beet Stretch”. This initiative featured prominent artists such as John Duncan, CM von Hausswolff, Adi Newton, Michael Esposito, Manuel Rocha Iturbide, Freiband and Marc Behrens. In 2024, he showcased his composition Stereoscopic Poincare at the prestigious Fonoteca Nacional in México City, a work originally developed in collaboration with Adi Newton and inspired by the poetry of Mexican Nobel Prize winner Octavio Paz.
Currently, Reyes is working alongside a number of distinguished electroacoustic artists to create diverse projects centered around particular themes and artistic movements, including Vorticism, Constructivism, Futurism, and DADA. His upcoming project is titled “DADA Musik.”
Reyes is the founder of the Ambisonic Guild. A group of contemporary electroacoustic artists collaborating from different countries and time zones. Additionally, he is the originator of the Electroacoustic Abstractionism art movement, which emphasizes that art transcends mere auditory experiences. This movement promotes a multi-dimensional and multi-sensory engagement that links the observer, the surroundings, and the artworks themselves.
