Hauschka is a composer, songwriter and experimental musician best known for his compositions for prepared piano, with a sound that runs from chamber music to house and techno music. New album ‘Abandoned City’ was recorded in his home studio in a ten day burst of creative energy following the birth of his first son. This new set of compositions awaken the loneliness and unattainable romance of timeless, unfamiliar places, with cinematic melodies full of resonant overtones, bright cheerful keyboard patterns and dark percussive touches.
