Info:

Siince The Release Of His Debut Album, Substantial, In 2004, Volker Bertelmann – Aka Hauschka – Has, Slowly But Surely, Earned A Remarkable Reputation As A Purveyor Of Imaginative, Distinctive, Prepared Piano Music. This Isn’t, To Be Fair, A Heavily Populated Field, But It’s One He’s Made His Own, And While Some Might Have Dismissed His Work Early On As A Novelty, Bertelmann Has Proven Himself To Be Uncommonly Inventive, Coaxing Ever More Unprecedented, Euphonic Sounds And Rhythms Out Of His Instrument. Even So, On What If – Which Finds Him Adding Player Pianos (also Known As Pianolas) To His Armoury – Bertelmann Expands His Range Even Further, Defying Expectations And Delivering What Is Without Doubt His Most Ingenious Album Yet.<br />the Vinyl Release Includes A Download Code.
