► Master of the prepared piano Hauschka presented our most intimate and moving 'In Stereo' yet.

[@JBrooksNYS]

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.

[@bencolemanart]

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.

[@ravenestrella2310]

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!

[@DirtboxJams]

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.

[@barty_x]

Der Herr. Eine wohlschmeckende Zeit. Auf allen Ebenen mit Fehlern, Vollkommen.

[@zetetick395]

Only Hauschka and the gods know how he remembers all the various preparations on his piano for different pieces....

[@lucilegarric2727]

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

[@GreenBlueClouds]

this recording has so many golden moments

[@CottonInDerTube]

+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

[@genepozniak]

+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. :-)

[@JeremiahFernandez]

@@CottonInDerTube depends on who's listening, regardless of period

[@MikeGrahamDSM]

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.

[@leadpipejustice9253]

A piano wizard. Pure magic and passion right here.

[@southstreetwest]

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!

[@GoldyLocks397]

@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'"

[@RStrong89]

If you have a chance to see this live, grab it ! Unforgettable

[@MrGorillaed]

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.

[@ENTERPLAYSTUDIO]

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.

[@milosmilosmilos]

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.

[@genepozniak]

This is the coolest and most listenable use of "prepared piano" technique I've ever heard. :-)

[@bogdanbuda8118]

nils frahm. Felt. spaces. both albums.

[@knox.gunterstallbauer6877]

das ist sehr schön anzuhren und -sehen...! BRAVO....grosses BRAVO...!

[@Internetdev]

Spectacular + very good composition = very agreeable experience as listener too

[@TheMomentumFour]

Good job Boiler Room. Thanks for sharing this!

[@menacetv151]

Beautiful piece! I'll have to check out more of his stuff.

[@princesscutielu]

Absolutely bloody fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing this piece of brilliance.

[@dariog124]

His set at LEV festival this year blew my mind !!

[@OMNIFICPICTURES]

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.

[@Dead_Sleep]

Actually it reminds me of some strange amalgam as if John Cage, Philip Glass, and Steve Reich all become one being.

[@eugenefender1279]

Awesome! Very atmospheric and very creative!

[@grzegorzandruszkiewicz-pia9181]

Piękne niesamowite symfoniczne ponadczasowe brzmienie genialny koncert🎶🎹🙌

[@millancc]

saw this live here but never got the name or link.. glad i'm found it again it's amazing!!

[@bookstore55]

Jealous. This would be amazing live.

[@denisdion9287]

quelle belle utilisation de la technologie au service de la musique - Bravo... Salutations de Montréal

[@HMohr]

Amid so many daily novelties, this was truly innovative for me.

[@СавелийФилинов]

Замечательно. Создаёт настроение.

[@ronnieperez7650]

I can easily picture Thom Yorke performing with Hauschka.

[@martynazarzycka]

I too! (now, thanks to you, but they are not both from Germany :( )

[@MM-111]

@Ronnie Perez Hauschka is the name of Volker Bertelmann. He is composer and pianist. He is from Germany.

[@68redneck67]

Fantastic work

[@glaucoma888]

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.

[@MichaelBLevi]

This was incredible.

[@Dead_Sleep]

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.

[@PhillipCHertz]

+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"

[@promufa]

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 :)

[@AnthonyMackONE]

I wish I could double-like this video

[@doceunodoceuno]

Joder, qué bueno... Esto sí es un Live.

[@SkeleMusic]

the melody at 25:45 is amazing

[@alexjoya9742]

[@petervancoillie8047]

[@tommesb8141]

[@ienjoytimesplitters]

I seriously hope Boiler Room does more of these and not let it die like Boiler Room Selections and Toilet Room did.

[@karaborej9707]

This is for people who listen to music artistically

This is very different for me.

[@zetetick395]

He kinda looks a little bit like the lead guy from that indie movie "Buzzard" - that movie got under my skin in a really odd way @~@

[@greylandrum9164]

Definitely not for me, but extremely creative!

[@faabbee]

Did he miss at 26:45 ?

[@Sleepysidney]

A performance like this isn't injured by a few imperfections! Don't you agree?

[@oystermind]

There are several seriously distracting errors between 25:00 and 30:00...

[@YotamIshay]

What are the things in 17:30-ish ? ? ?
