This soundtrack to the cult 1926 silent Swedish film, HÄXAN, is from a live recording at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival in 2010. It’s an appropriately moody and mysterious blend of real instrumentation (piano, violin, organ, glockenspiel, musical saw) and electronic treatments. Perfectly suited to this dark and twisted film, it will transport you to the magic and madness of the Medieval witch hunts.

Matti Bye - Piano and live electronics

Laura Naukkarinen (Lau Nau) - Voice and electronics

Lotta Johansson - Violin, electric violin and musical saw

Kristian Holmgren - Pumporgan

As usual this release comes in two distinct physical forms.

The 52 over-the-top limited edition versions come in well worn and distressed 80 year old Russian film cans with a mirrored surface layered with silhouetted and circular hi-res prints of stills from the film revealing a fiery red surface underneath, insert, and “hammer of witches”, glass vial contains a blend of witchy herbs and tiny clock parts etc

This is the listing for the dramatic, 4 panel digipak CD version in an edition of 100 copies.

The release will ship starting mid April 2022.
