Hauschka
German composer and pianist Hauschka makes music that lives in the seam between live performance and the machine. His hip, moody beats are generated not on a laptop, but by placing household objects and scraps of rubber between the strings of a real piano, and then processing the resulting distorted sounds electronically. John Cage set the stage for prepared piano and now Hauschka takes it in new directions.
