Hauschka http://www.hauschka-net.de/ “WHAT I’M DOING IS…WORKING WITH JUST THE PIANO AND TRYING TO AVOID USE OF ANY TECHNICAL GEAR AND PRODUCING ELECTRONIC MUSIC…” HAUSCHKA HAUSCHKA IS DUSSELDORF’S VERY OWN “PREPARED PIANO” ALCHEMIST; VOLKER BERTELMANN. CLAMPING WEDGES OF LEATHER, FELT OR RUBBER BETWEEN THE STRINGS, HE PREPARES THE HAMMERS WITH ALUMINUM PAPER OR ROUGH FILMS, WEAVING GUITAR STRINGS INTO THE PIANO\'S GUTS, OR PASTING THEM DOWN WITH GAFFER’S TAPE. THE PREPARED PIANO BLOSSOMS INTO A MACHINE, THAT GENERATES RHYTHMS AND MELODY. THE MODIFICATIONS CREATE AN ARRAY OF RUSTLING, DRUMMING, SHIVERING AND SCRAPING THAT IS THE PIANO, EXPANDED. THIS COMPOSER WILL TAKE THE SPOTLIGHT WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A PIANO, A TOOLBOX AND SOME TAPE.
