| Hauschka – Foreign Landscapes (2010) |
[Sep. 15th, 2010|02:07 pm] |
Volker Bertelmann is a classically trained composer/pianist from Germany
who currently resides in Düsseldorf. Having studied classical piano for
ten years, his work as Hauschka is based upon a playful exploration of
the possibilities of the ‘prepared’ piano - a disruptive intervention
into the preconceived idea of the piano as a pure-toned instrument: by
clamping wedges of leather , felt or
rubber between the strings; preparing the hammers with aluminium paper
or rough films; placing crown corks on the strings, weaving guitar
strings around the piano’s guts, or pasting them down with gaffa tape -
his resulting tracks are composed both originally and charmingly. The
results are vivid, unconventional pieces made in a spirit of playful
research-enthusiasm.
