Hotel Utah Saloon says…

Like John Cage and his treated pianos Dusseldorf-based pianist Volker Bertelmann (aka Hauschka) likes to play dress up with his instrument. The rule-breaking minimalist clamps wedges of leather, felt, and rubber between the strings; prepares the hammers with aluminum paper; weaves guitar strings around the piano's guts; and holds everything down with gaffer's tape. His arrangements sound orchestral, with singing strings and delicate layering, but he takes as much from electronica as from the classical canon.
