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.

Duo Geloso
Black Truffle is thrilled to continue its program of archival releases from Arnold Dreyblatt with a recently unearthed concert recording from Dreyblatt and Paul Panhuysen’s "Duo Geloso".

Long Strings 1982-2011 (book)
*2022 stock* An account of the production of Dutch composer and visual/sound artist Paul Panhuysens long string installations, which crossed a range of spaces in various ways and were, in fact, sound sculptures that could be played. Over a period of 30 years Panhuysen made more than 250 long string installations in many locations around the world, drawing attention to the perception of our environment and the ways in which its parameters are detected, transformed and analysed by our senses, simu…
Music Without Musicians
Paul Panhuysen, Het Apollohuis in Eindhoven, was invited by De IJsbreker in Amsterdam in 1997 to curate a program of mechanical orchestras. This book documents the orchestras created by the six artists Trimpin, Frédéric Le Junter, Ulrich Eller, Ad van Buuren, Pierre Bastien and Harald Kubiczak. The CD features original recordings of each of the six orchestras. The accompanying essays by Kitty Zijlmans and Leon van Noorden use the programmatic title of the project, ’Music Without Musicians,’ as a…
And The Mexican Jumping Beans
Packaged in a Digipak with a 12-panel insert. Following a trip to Mexico City, Paul Panhuysen returned to Eindhoven with 200 jumping beans - those curious larvae-inhabited seed pods sold as toys in local markets. At Het Apollohuis, he began a series of experiments that would result in this remarkable recording. Panhuysen's practice has long incorporated living creatures alongside electronic devices: "I've worked often with animals, with birds, crickets and goats. I also use sensors, timers, sole…
Live With The Birds
What happens when experimental musicians share their studio with an aviary of canaries? The answer lies in Live With The Birds, one of the most unexpected and joyful documents in the Maciunas Ensemble's discography. Released by Het Apollohuis in 1997, this recording captures a remarkable interspecies collaboration where Paul Panhuysen and his ensemble discover their most enthusiastic improvisers have wings. The setup was deceptively simple: aluminum strips suspended from rubber bands, allowing f…
Number Made Audible
Named in tribute to Fluxus-founder George Maciunas, the Maciunas Ensemble's Number Made Audible stands as one of the most radical documents of sound art to emerge from the Netherlands in the 1990s. Originally released by Het Apollohuis in 1993, this CD captures eleven pieces that transform numerical relationships into living sound through invented instruments: Duochords, Spring Strings, Musical Bows, Guitars with Tails, Tubular Aluminum Monochords. Founded in 1968 by Paul Panhuysen, Remko Scha a…
