I saw this guy perform in 2007 in NYC. I remember at the end of the show he gradually started removing all the things from his piano that altered the sound and finished with regular piano. Pretty cool stuff.
+GreenBlueClouds Nice description. "Moments" is the point. When i was young and bored they called it "noise". If you record it today they call it "art". There *are* great moments. But would be more fun to not see/listen to the "art" around :D
+cottton™ You must be REALLY old then. This technique is called "prepared piano," and it's first extensive use in a piece was by John Cage in 1938. :-)
This is tremendous. Yes, Reich, Glass, Cage, etc., but another band I would like to recommend highly if you dig this is Dawn of Midi. They are kind of a 'power trio' for this kind of focused music: drums, bass and piano. They are exceptional.
Oh dear. Just discovered this many years later in 2022.... Have been a Hauschka fan for a long time, but there are always moments when I am still blown away. Simply magnificent, a true artist.
This is BRILLIANT. I've only watched up to twelve minutes so far, but that's clever how he applied unique percussion to select piano keys by stealing instruments and solid objects to the strings and hammers. And I love the user of that feedback knob. So, essentially it's like using the "Dual" function on a Yamaha DGX (or any keyboard that allows payback of more than one closer at once) with Grand Piano and percussion kit voices! As beginner pianist but longtime electronic music composer and enthusiast, I've always gravitated heavily toward the percussion end of music.
In France, it was with the pianist Sophie Agnel that I discovered this way of adding sound to the piano. I love it, it's surprising. Thank you for this moment of music so well felt. I'm delighted
Love the Cage reference... Somehow it makes me nostalgic in a strange kind of way. And I prefer to listen to the whole thing as opposed to skipping to parts, in order to better enjoy the rhythmic and harmonic development. Some pieces of art require a level of background knowledge to fully appreciate, but that makes it no less awesome!
@ThisIsMyRealName "The invention of the "prepared piano", per se, is usually traced to John Cage. Cage first prepared a piano when he was commissioned to write music for Bacchanale, a dance by Syvilla Fort in 1938. For some time previously, Cage had been writing exclusively for a percussion ensemble, but the hall where Fort’s dance was to be staged had no room for a percussion group. The only instrument available was a single grand piano. After some consideration, Cage said that he realized it was possible 'to place in the hands of a single pianist the equivalent of an entire percussion orchestra ... With just one musician, you can really do an unlimited number of things on the inside of the piano if you have at your disposal an exploded keyboard'"
Hello Hauschka it’s brilliant to see you perform here. It’s been years since I have been around you. Your artistry is so beautiful. Thank you for your art. Superb.
Incredibly innovative and brilliant. I think mr Hauschka spent a good many hours listening in awe of the compositions of Vangelis and Jean Michelle Jarre. Especially the Blade Runner soundtrack comes to mind. Brilliant performance.
I wouldn't call prepared piano "innovative" since it's been around since the 60s (introduced by the legendary John Cage). Hauschka is certainly amazing with it. Probably my favorite piano player and very creative with how he prepares it.
Yeah, Riley's right - anyone interested in similar _epic quality_ would be well served in checking out some *Aphex Twin - Drukqs* A superb album from beginning to end! :D
Brilliant! He isn't a simple DJ such a many others, Mr. Hauschka is great electrical musician. Electrical DJ and banquet DJ doesn't know much in music, sometimes they not a musicians at all. But Mr Hauschka is natural old-school musician and he really makes a music in material or in digital realities. Greatness!!! My applause. P.S. I really believe that I'll hear some performance in live.
When this piece strarted I thought that perhaps Hillary made a big mistake. LOL But he redemened himself greatly and I cant wait to hear more of Hawk's music.
Um...has no one mentioned John Cage yet? I believe that's the father of prepared piano...anyway, this guy is fucking brilliant. Glad I discovered this. I'll be spending many hours and days with his music now for sure.
+Richard Brown "Although Cowell's techniques don't call for placing objects (other than the hands) inside the piano, Cage frequently cited Cowell's work as the primary inspiration for his development of the prepared piano"
I memory serves, Erik Satie was the first one to use prepared piano (nothing as extensive as this obviously, just paper ribbons between some strings to give a slightly muted percussive sound). Anyway, who knows (and who cares to be honest) - this is amazing :)
+ernestodesola Was about to be all self-righteous and say "No, those are E-Bows, they are actual musical equipment that kinda look like vibra.... oh shit, that is a vibrator" haha

Only Hauschka and the gods know how he remembers all the various preparations on his piano for different pieces....
this recording has so many golden moments

@@CottonInDerTube depends on who's listening, regardless of period
There is no greater master of the prepared piano than Hauschka. The music he brings forth from the piano is as mind-blowing as it is breathtaking!
Der Herr.
Eine wohlschmeckende Zeit.
Auf allen Ebenen mit Fehlern, Vollkommen.

A piano wizard. Pure magic and passion right here.
If you have a chance to see this live, grab it ! Unforgettable
One single word: Brilliant.
This is the coolest and most listenable use of "prepared piano" technique I've ever heard. :-)
nils frahm. Felt. spaces. both albums.
who are frustrated edm suckers who disliked this beautifull peace of art ??
His set at LEV festival this year blew my mind !!
I wish I could double-like this video
Spectacular + very good composition = very agreeable experience as listener too
Good job Boiler Room. Thanks for sharing this!
Amid so many daily novelties, this was truly innovative for me.
I can easily picture Thom Yorke performing with Hauschka.
I too! (now, thanks to you, but they are not both from Germany :( )
@Ronnie Perez
Hauschka is the name of Volker Bertelmann. He is composer and pianist. He is from Germany.
Actually it reminds me of some strange amalgam as if John Cage, Philip Glass, and Steve Reich all become one being.
das ist sehr schön anzuhren und -sehen...! BRAVO....grosses BRAVO...!
saw this live here but never got the name or link.. glad i'm found it again it's amazing!!
Jealous. This would be amazing live.
Beautiful piece! I'll have to check out more of his stuff.
quelle belle utilisation de la technologie au service de la musique - Bravo...
Salutations de Montréal

This is awesome. I had never heard of this guy until now. Can anyone suggest an album of his that I should check out?
'The Prepared Piano'
this is like destroying a whole building
Similar composition to the Machinarium soundtrack. I like it.
Great how "The Residents" get in there at 1:40!
that grain delay
Of a total different nature, but it does remind me of some of the work of Nana Vasconcelos.
Fucking amazing... you are true ARTIST
Masterpice
pretty fucking neat
tu sei fuori...nel senso buono...woow
A crazy Typ
25:15 if anyone can id this part (if it ever was released that is..) you'd be a king

This is for people who listen to music artistically
Masterfash

Agreed
OH YEAH!!! You should see what I can do with FL Studio!
18:30 bullet vibrator?
Two of 'em! He holds one and tapes another to a string to get a drone.
What are the things in 17:30-ish ? ? ?
23:27 Wonder
This is very different for me.
Came here because of John Cage and I luv it!
