The Prepared Piano, Hauschka
Posted on | October 2, 2007 | No Comments
The Prepared Piano from German artist Hauschka is quite a nice bit of piano music. Melodic and then dissonant in equal parts, it works as background music and still rewards close listening. From Hauschka’s official site:
Hauschka is the alias of Dusseldorf?based pianist / composer Volker Bertelmann, whose work is based upon an exploration of the possibilities of the ‘prepared’ piano - a playfully disruptive intervention into the preconceived idea of the piano as a pure-toned, perfected instrument waiting for a gifted virtuoso to play on it.
Worth a listen, regardless of whether your taste in ambient tends towards the electronic or the “natural.”

Matthew Cooper, better known around here as Eluvium, has just released a set of tracks for free download. I don’t know much about it other than what the site says, which is that they’re “unedited improvised basement minidisc records.” Sounds good to me!
