The best concerts and festivals of 2016 by FILTER Mexico.
11. Anna Von Hausswolff @ Festival Aural
This year the Aural Festival revived and for good, with an impecbale line up from it’s first to last letter. Who in definitive stole our heart with her magnificent set was Anna von Hausswolff in her show at Lunario del Auditorio Nacional in the company of  Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld. Not only did we contemplate in all their glory her beautiful vocal chords, but a much denser and demolishing form of her songs in comparision with the monochromatic darkness in her most recent album, The Miraculous.

It was the turn for Anna von Hausswolff. Drums, bass, two guitars, and she on her pipe organ and harmonica. The first applause came after almost twenty minutes in the show, with an overture of transcendental tints and an unconventional use of the instruments. These are the type of concerts that put you alert, catch your attention and leave you no choice but to immerse yourself in the deep ocean of it’s proposal. Anna is the daughter of renowned sound artist Carl Michael von Hausswolff. Like father Like Daughter. In 2010 she released her first commercial recording, Track of Time (Kning Disk Label). The excelent reviews made her release that same year her long play Singing From The Grave. Three years later she released Ceremony (Other Music Recording Co., 2013), which had great radio support in the United States. And last year The Miraculous (Other Music Recordings Co., 2015) also with good reviews that cement her career even further.
Anna is definitely an artist who knows no limits. It is controversial - in 2013 she wore for a photo shoot a Burzum T-shirt, a Norwegian artist who is serving a murder sentence, enigmatic and very energetic. Her movements on stage are of such intensity that sometimes she looks like a member of a black metal band. Her beautiful long blonde hair draws different shapes when she headbangs, but to the rhythm of saturated textures in long songs, as if was an infinite coda.
I must say that after seeing her live show artists like The Knife, Fever Ray or Sigur Ros comes to mind. Even Mazzy Star passed quickly through my thoughts, in a moment of slow sonic density with an angelic voice. But this same voice can lead to hysteria in a couple of seconds. The high tone it reaches is stormy, but within the sound context that her musicians and herself are delivering. Her work has been acclaimed in various media and styles, from the NYT to heavy metal magazines. And it is because the sonic offer is wide: an eclecticism that orbits around the gothic folk, the pop and the black and death metal.
Her musicians fulfill the role perfectly, but if there is one that stands out is the drummer, the backbone of all those moments that suddenly spring from the calm to lead us towards a spiral of sensations that are not for everyone. During a song, Anna stepped down from the stage to sing front and among the audience, perhaps the most consistent song for the common ear. The voice, masterful.
The entropy can be defined as the measure of the uncertainty that exists before a set of messages, of which you will receive a single one. And that's exactly what happened last night, a sound entropy. The message was concise and the concept clear, both brought to our ears by an unimaginable amount of elements.
