Experimental pianomusic

I've decided for a change of pace today, seeing as we're getting a decent snowfall for the first time in ages. An appropriate time to bring up the new EP by German prepared pianist Hauschka.


















Entitled "Snowflakes And Carwrecks," this might be an EP in the most liberal sense of the term, as it clocks in at about 40 minutes. Modern Classical in the vein of Rachel's, Sylvain Chauveau, and Max Richter (and maybe even Yann Tiersen), Hauschka aka. Volker Bertelmann, has been putting out a steady stream of releases of excellent quality since 2004. Snowflakes And Carwrecks acts well as an addendum to last year's Ferndorf LP, and was recorded during the same session with the same musicians as Ferndorf.
