Title Description:
This double disc set includes some of the most unusual sounds you will have heard from Carl Michael von Hausswolff. The story goes like this. Von Hausswolff was chosen by the 1997 Istanbul Biennal to create a sound installation for AtatŸrk Airport. His classic sound combining low frequency rumblings, very monotonous oscillations and hissy non-narrative sequences was deemed too confusing for the commutors.

It was feared, von HausswolffÕs sound installation might be mistaken for an alarm and would be capable of causing serious panic at the airport. Hence the original soundtrack for Perhaps I Arrive was neglected. This music can now be heard for the first time on disc 1. Carl Michael von HausswolffÕs response to the artistsic restrictions was to produce the four tracks you hear on the second disc. These only make use of the very basic pre-set industry sounds included in the Yamaha QY22 and show a new side to the von Hausswolff sound. Very simple, post-nuclear lounge music. These four tracks Ð you guessed it! Ð where happily used in the context of the Biennal exhibition.
