Title:	The Wonderful World of Male Intuition
Label:	ORAL (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	ORAL 010CD

"Constructed as a one single piece, mostly using a large variation of sine wave oscillators interacting with sounds from the sea, land and outer space, its parts deal with the human phenomena called 'intuition.' The various stream-like pulse flows continues through the piece and inserts manipulated voices of different male person important to von Hausswolff's life are frequently heard. The persons are, according to the artist, important as 'positive energies in a world that obviously is feasting on itself without knowing how to go to the toilet'. The voices heard in some tracks are from artists, thinkers and prominents like The Dalai Lama, John Lilly, Albert Hoffman and Alvin Lucier...while other tracks are dedicated to fellow artists like Mika Vainio, Erkki Kurenniemi, Jim Thirlwell and Navin Rawanchaikul. This is the first part of two CDs dealing with the concept of Intuition. A 'must' have for all music lovers of Pan Sonic, John Duncan, Daniel Menche, Coh."

Title:	Three Overpopulated Cities Built By Shortsighted Planners...
Label:	SUB ROSA (BELGIUM)
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SR 217CD

...An Unbalanced And Quite Dangerous Airport And An Abandoned Church. "This second complete CD followed his Rays of Beauty and will build a subtle trilogy work for Sub Rosa. By visiting Lagos in 1983, Tokyo in 1999, 2000 and 2001, Bangkok several times between 1986 and 2002 and Mexico City in 2002 and 2003, CM von Hausswolff came, as thousands of other people, to the conclusion that something is running amok. An uncontrollable avalanche consisting of the construction of houses, streets and in-between spaces develops in large cities as independent do-it-yourselves-organisms. They're places we like because of their 'anything can happen'- status. They're places we hate, because they remind us of what lousy creatures we actually are. How long will they last? Maybe as long as the feedback sustains? A conclusive statement rolled over the above-mentioned composer when he stumbled over an abandoned church in Chicago. This sad place, once illuminated by Marin Luther King, is now in the hands of soaptalkshowcommander Oprah Winfrey's chef Art Smith ... Maybe it's a sign of something good. At least we know the quality of his desserts ... This new release, following his A Lecture On Disturbances In Architecture (Firework Edition Records, Stockholm, 2002), deals with these matters in a formal way. The rest is up to you ...."
