Russell Haswell
Russell Haswell is an English artist and musician, born in Coventry, whose work spans wall pieces, video, public sculpture and live electronic performance in galleries and concert halls. He is known for a long partnership with Florian Hecker built on the UPIC, the system designed by Iannis Xenakis that turns drawings into sound. Haswell's first CD, Live Salvage 1997→2000, came out on Mego in 2001, and in 2002 Warp released Satanstornade, recorded with Masami Akita (Merzbow).
