MARK FELL AND CM VON HAUSSWOLFF
Artists and composers Mark Fell and Carl Michael von Hausswolff present
their first collaborative project featuring a piece for live electronics
played through a seven channel surround system. Each speaker transmits a
design-specific hardware oscillator, producing complex wave shapes and
responding to preset parameters different for each unit. The parameters
are then modulated and controlled constantly and in real time, at both
distinctive and random intervals during the live performance. The aim is
to create a unique, immersive, site specific and unrepeatable sound
environment.

MARK FELL
Mark Fell is widely known for combining popular music styles, such as
electronica and club music, with more academic approaches to
computer-based composition with a particular emphasis on algorithmic and
mathematical systems. Since his early electronic music pieces Fell’s
practice has expanded to include moving image works, sound and light
installation, choreography, critical texts and educational projects. The
diversity and importance of Fell’s practice is reflected in the range
and scale of international institutions that have presented his work
which include – Hong Kong National Film archive, MACBA, La Casa
Encendida, LABoral, The Institute of Contemporary Art in London, The
Serpentine, The Australian Centre For Moving Image, ZKM and others.
CM VON HAUSSWOLFF
Since the end of the 1970s, Carl Michael von Hausswolff has worked as a
composer using the tape recorder as his main instrument, further aids
are the sine-wave generators, oscillators and radar transmitters. His
audio compositions are pure, intuitive studies of electricity, frequency
functions and tonal autism within the framework of a conceptual
stringent cryption. Lately he has also developed a more conceptual form
of audio art overlooking subjects such as architecture and urbanism,
rats and maggots. Collaborators include Graham Lewis, Jean-Louis Huhta,
Pan sonic, Russell Haswell, Zbigniew Karkowski, Erik Pauser, The Hafler
Trio and John Duncan. His music is published by _Touch Music
London.
