A 3 CD box set with a booklet and bow hair marking violinist/conceptualist Jon Rose's 60th birthday, all previously unreleased works ranging from radio documentary and radio fiction to virtuoso performances using acoustic violin and his hyperstring interactive bow system.

Recorded in concert in 1988 and 1990, Slawterhaus brings Jon Rose, Peter Hollinger, Johannes Bauer, and Kietmar Diesner together in a jagged mix of avant rock, free improvisation, and deconstructed funk, with electric violin, trombone, drums, and electronics colliding in short, high-energy forms that shift between tight grooves and wild, unpredictable noise.
