Hypermodern version of a 19th century ghost performance by one of the most unconventional and charming pianists of this moment. Classically trained pianist/composer Hauschka had a breakthrough with playful and original experiments on the ‘prepared piano’. Incorporating tape, corks, guitar-strings aluminum-foil and other ingredients, he manages to elicit unexpected rhythms and melodies from his instrument. His splendid compositions have roots in both Eastern-Asian music, Satie, Ravel as well as the minimalism of Reich and Nyman.
