Paul Panhuysen
Paul Panhuysen (1934 – 2015) was a Dutch composer, visual and sound artist. He founded and directed Het Apollohuis, an art space that functioned during the 80's and 90's having artists doing sound installations, sound sculptures, and concerts about free improvisation, experimental music, and electronic music. The most known sound installations of this artist were made with strings, crossing the spaces in different ways, and later played by the artist putting rosing in his fingers and using them as a sort of violin bow.

Singing The World Into Existence
2023 stock, very rare All of these Apollo albums have a tendency towards the odd, but this is one of the more eccentric.

He experimented with different ways of recording the sounds they made, attaching contact microphones to their cages and exploring the use of different types of effects processing. More intriguingly, he experimented with ways o…

His aim was to make his playing as continuous and even as possible. For each partita he re…
