In Anna von Hausswolff’s artistic practice lies a creativity that is both unpredictable and boundless. With the pipe organ as her natural instrument of choice, she has long explored the ethereal qualities of breath in her sound: inhaling, holding, and letting go. Sometimes this takes the form of apocalyptic, heavy rock songs; other times, more intimate organ pieces. Way Out West met up with her before her show “Atlas Song” at Göteborgsoperan, in March 2026.
Get to know the artists playing Way Out West! To dive deeper into the creative minds featured in this year’s lineup, we’ve sat down with a selection of artists for short conversations about music, inspiration, and everything in between. But most importantly – what makes their hearts sing?
More interviews will be released in the lead-up to the festival offering a chance to discover the artists beyond the usual press releases and bios.
