CM von Hausswolff and Mauricio Reyes Release 'Visible Sound: Nikola Tesla’s Mattergy' on Soleilmoon
Released under the Soleilmoon label, the CD 'Visible Sound: Nikola Tesla’s Mattergy' features the collaboration of CM von Hausswolff and Mauricio Reyes. This project revitalizes neglected archives and technological visions, turning obscure experiments—such as CCD2, Dale Travous's underground lab in Seattle, and unbroadcast recordings from Canal 4 in Mexico City—into sonic experiences. By manipulating raw electrical outputs and intricate soundscapes, Reyes and von Hausswolff reshape and intertwine frequencies captured years ago. The outcome is an electroacoustic performance that fluctuates between allure and threat, conjuring images of both experimental labs and vast cosmic realms. This work pushes the limits of music, residing in a transitional space that merges sound art, historical inquiry, and theoretical exploration.
