Volker Bertelmann takes up the legacy of John Cage and his prepared pianos and links them to his humourous and restless spirit: the result is absolutely unpredictable. It may sound like something cinematic and gentle, or it may sound like... techno and house, as is the case on his release for Fat Cat, “Foreign Landscapes”, on which his piano takes care of the 4/4, and is accompanied by the drummer Kai Angermann. To present this work live, Hauschka is bringing us a show with piano, drums and electronica, with a lot of magician's tricks that he keeps hidden up his sleeve.
