Design by Robert Schalinski The Prisoner of Chillon was written and published 200 years ago. Byron was, together with the P.B. and Mary Shelley, on a small boat tour at Lake Geneva when they came upon the castle of Chillon. Byron learned about the fate of the freedom fighter Bonnivard, who spent 7 years as a prisoner in the castle dungeons, and in compassion wrote The Prisoner of Chillon. von Hausswolff and Chaplin remembered this castle from their respective childhoods and decided to compose a soundtrack to the poem. As they needed not only themselves but also other voices reading the text, they contacted a few of their friends and family members to contribute. Chaplin is a composer and a musician. He has released several albums on the Austrian label Fabrique and has played concerts all around the world - sometimes solo and sometimes with friends like Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Tim Story. von Hausswolff is a composer, visual artist and curator. He has released many solo albums and also collaborated with composers like Roedelius, Joachim Nordwall, Jonsi (of Sigur Rós) and Chandra Shukla (as Travelogue […]). This is von Hausswolff’s and Chaplin’s second collaborative album. PLUS 155 / Chapbook 025 | 2024
